New throttle body
Yes, of course, but you'll get a new code because it isn't adapted.

Oils
Probably, and it might just be his local store, it's not available from their website and the nearest one is over 20 miles from me so I ain't doing a 40 mile round trip to possibly save a fiver!

My F2-VRS
What changes? I thought you were moving weight around, no tuning was mentioned.

oil change
As an aside, you don't have to warm the engine to suck out the oil using a pump, it isn't really necessary these days at all in fact because modern synthetic oils are so thin when cold.

oil change
It's a lot easier and quicker, however there are some seriously OCD people who don't like that it leaves a teaspoonful of old oil behind even though they're about to tip ~5L of lovely fresh oil in to flush it out and dilute it down to one part per thousand!

Slight judder then smoke everywhere
The 1980's called about ball bearing turbos... Joking aside, the turbo use oil bushes to float the shaft journals, when the shaft breaks the oil is pumped past the seals straight into the inlet and the engine runs away. Tldr, the turbo has failed catastrophically.

Deisel Particulte filter
You can't, take it to the nearest Halfords, they can do it all for a sensible price.

Deisel Particulte filter
The car hasn't been doing enough miles to keep the DPF clean, 68k in 10 years is very low which would suggest it's been used as a shopping trolley. I imagine the EGR valve is completely blocked so no regen will be possible until that's cleaned along with the DPF.

The turbo actuator on the 1.6 TDI is electronic so I'm not sure what you're testing but they often give trouble and have to be replaced and re-adapted.

1.4 TSI twincharger oil spec - VW 502.00 vs 504.00
Some people are obsessed with viscosity, they erroneously believe that it somehow makes up for slack tolerances in their engine, some people also believe that changing gearbox oil will magically repair their worn synchro rings!

1.4 TSI twincharger oil spec - VW 502.00 vs 504.00
If your engine does not use oil then you can stick with 504 spec since there's absolutely no reason to change.
