Could you please write in proper english: it's not that hard you know!
"Can you afford to fix it when, not if, it does in fact go bang?"
So do I presume that you can offer nothing to support your claims of catastrophic damage to fuel systems as a result of using Bio?
"The DPF isn't what's going to fail if you switch to bio-diesel"
You are dead right! It won't have one to fail!
"The $5,000 injection pump, $1,000ea injectors, and $500 rail pressure sensors...
"The Ross Tech cable is a good idea, though expect that you will need to spend some time learning it"
At my age that could be a problem! Do I have enough time left?
Are you suggesting that fuel...
Thank you so much for the offer. Do you have Ross - Tech equipment?
There is no urgency at the moment and I really think that to be able to continue servicing and maintaining my vehicles as I have...
I took the car for a decent run earlier in the week and held 6th gear [over 2,000 rpm.] for some 20 mins. and it seems to have done it's thing; no more DPF warning at start up. My wife is now worried...
I have a 180 TDI Touareg purchased in September 2014 [o4/2014 manufacture] that has done less than 6,000k.
Recently the DPF warning came up. I followed VW's recommendations and took it for a freeway...
No brake controller is included.
An F250 with a 7.3l Powerstroke engine, weighing in at around 3.5 tonnes is hardly a "light duty" SUV even in USA! What do you perceive to be heavy duty?
Did you check the site? Custom Spooling is in Ireland. I particularly checked to see what they offered for "Big Arse" F250's - nothing! They mainly target european vehicles.
I came accross this on another forum. Sounds interesting for those with DPF problems.
Welcome to Custom Spooling
My wife's Golf has had an annoying rattle somewhere in the rear - not loud but persistent. I finally went searching and narrowed it down to the hatch mounted reversing light assembly. What I found...
So what came first , the chicken, the egg, or the wet weather!
I hardly think that use of a starting fluid could blow the rocker cover. There would have to be an explosion in the crankcase to cause that to happen. [unless you are spraying in the oil filler?]....
My muffler delete on wife's Golf Mk5 TDI. Just what every 60 year old grandmother needs! 2.5" straight out the back - no noticeable increase in noise levels but she claims much better response down...
I am progressively increasing the percentage of Bio in my MkV TDI. Up to 25% currently and it loves it. I make my own Bio and test every batch. I wash until I have neutral PH and dry until there is...
I think you are telling a furphy! That would make 90% of diesel vehicles on Australian roads illegal and a fair percentage of vehicles in new car showrooms would also not meet that standard.
BAD IDEA - The heat shrink tube had come loose on the dipstick after a few short drives. It stayed between the knobs but was to loose to risk leaving it on. Back to the drawing board!
Sounds easier and cleaner. Does this allow most of the oil in the filter/cooler assy. to drain down into the sump ?
Do you just loosen the cap under the cooler and let it go? Messy business hey!
Do you partially fill the filter canister with fresh oil before fitting the new element and the cap?
I had difficulty...
Interesting that you should ask! The invoice lists 071115562A [Highway - $14.50 +gst]. The package [genuine VW made in France] is marked 071115562C.
The removed element was marked 045115466C - VWAG...
I had a look at that Thread - good article. However the TDI system is totally different. The filter is accessed from the top of the engine and there is no way to drain the oil cooler, which is...
I certainly did, and much more easily after I applied a short section of white heat shrink tube to the section between the high & low marks on that stupid black dipstick! [I will be checking the dip...
I have just changed the oil & filter in my wife's 2.0L TDI Golf for the first time[second time for the car, first time for me].
Being new to these vehicles and knowing little about the oil filter...
