You need a good quality scanner and see what the fault codes are. Otherwise you are are just playing spare parts lottery.

Where in QLD are you? I can highly recommend Coolum motors, I probably wouldn’t get a tune without the dpf delete. I’m sure it would work, but the dpf and egr are the Amarok’s Achilles heel.

Have you driven many manual cars? I had a manual 4 cylinder and never had issues with wheel spin in 2wd.

Welcome rob
I hope you have a great time with your new Amarok.
