    Swap from 2.0 TDI - 1.8 TFSI, worth it?

Only getting about 37mpg. need a decent mpg as I’m at uni but also want something that’s not slow. would it be worth swapping to a 1.8 TFSI for...

    DPF blocked after remap (removal??)

    Thanks, would you say it’s fair to ask the mapper to look at it again for me without a full charge? I feel like paying in full again for something the map has potentially caused is a bit much

    That’s exactly what my guy said to me, but I’ve read that it can cause dpf issues which it seems to in my case. Was yours Bristol or no?

    DPF light on every 2 weeks

    i can’t see any option to PM mate but it was done in Bristol, I managed to clear my dpf fault by taking it on the motorway and using some cleaner, but if it comes back again I know I’ve got an issue. And as your in the same boat I feel pretty certain it’s linked with having the car mapped / Egr...

    DPF light on every 2 weeks

    Hello, I’m having a Similar issue, I had an egr disable with a stage 1 3 weeks ago and now have a clogged dpf fault. I spoke to the mapper and he said egr delete won’t effect the dpf and he’s done it on 100s of engines. Would it be sensible to had them egr put back on the map? Although he wants...

    DPF blocked after remap (removal??)

    Thanks for the reply, I did let the mapping guy know and he said it may be a separate issue and to look it again and maybe take the egr delete off the map cost me £180. So not really sure where to go from there. Thanks

    low sub sound when driving? Sounds fine when parked

    I’m pretty sure it’s not that, as soon as I start moving the bass noticeably dips as if it’s getting less power, I haven’t had this in previous cars and engines on those where a lot louder. Weird

    low sub sound when driving? Sounds fine when parked

    No it’s only front speakers non Bose, all the regular speakers work fine it’s only the sub that’s going quiet.

    low sub sound when driving? Sounds fine when parked

    Installed a sub last last week, sounds really good until I start driving, then sound goes noticeably quieter than idle or aux, any idea what it could be? (Had battery tested it’s fine) Power is wired to last post on battery fuse box. Any ideas? Thanks :)

    I’ve wired in an eBay Bluetooth adapter which goes into the cd charger port of the quad-lock in my concert 3 radio, My car has no aux or cd changer. When I click cd to use the adapter it says “no cd” Do I need to have something coded in with vagcom? And what is it i need to have changed. Thanks
