hehe yea sounds about right

Get a 2.5TDI V6 Excellent performance for the MPG, and sounds good for a Diesel too! If the mileage is high then don't worry too much altho a couple of valves get blocked due to soot, the 1.8T feels too delicate to me i'd prolly kill it within a couple of weeks

90kmh? hehe

Well done Joni, I think there is a thread on this site similar to yours, seems to be a common problem with the 2.5 TDI Just out of interest what miles has your car done? Mike

Tubtub, how many miles has the car done?

This EGR valve keeps popping up everywhere! although it causes a smoke problem it can affect turbo boost and emissions etc and could be the reason for -Intake manifold pressure below limits, for the sake of it it might be worth taking the EGR out for a clean at least, theres a thread somewhere...

'Please can someone explain what the pipes are that run from one injector to the next ' Think these pipes keep all injectors primed up Martin, you find they weep a little on the older engines, however, if they are drawing in air this could be a problem but I think you got a clogged / faulty...

You could do with getting the car checked with vag-com Martin, sounds like a sensor somewhere if it isn't the MAF.

keep us posted Martin, no doubt I will have some of these problems in the future.

Well done Dan, you are very brave to take on such a big job, think i'm gonna leave this one for my tech, still got another 25k to go so better start saving!

Could it be the MAF sensor, a common fault apparently, or maybe the ECU in limp mode, anyone near you with VAGCOM to give the car a quick scan?

or get an auto trader, theres dozens of turbo specialist's in the parts section. HTH

try 4ringspares they might have a second hand one, theres a place in Blackpool where I bought a new turbo for my VW LT, i'll try find the number.

Brill Martin, apart from a couple of blown bulbs no problems. The car seems to have more power for longer up the rev range, the engine sound a little less refined but to be honest it was minus 5 most of the time and its not been too warm over here either but performance wise i'd say its better...

Hi Lon, Yup got it done, he does it at his house, he has a large garage and a large conservatory full of car magazines to wait in but no rolling road, but first impressions are good though! He Vag-Commed my car first to clear any faults, the rest was done in secrecy so I suppose its easy to do...

still good for 155+mph I reckon martin I had a link somewhere for a 2.5TDI V6 doing 261km/h, / off the clock, so its not all bad m8!

As far as I know, the max you can tune a 2.5 TDI V6 is to about 210ps, the pump wont give you any more than that.

I read a few good threads on other forums about OBD tuning here's the website, check out the reviews here; http://www.mini2tuning.co.uk/35445/35446.html

Sounds good martin, I have taken the plunge with ODB tuning, booked in on the 7th Feb, just before I goes to germany in it!!

Nice one Dan, keep us updated on how it goes
