Hi does anyone know how to reset this ash value after a clean out (off car) and re-fitted DPF? It also appears to be frozen and not regenerating. Tried adaptation though OBD11 but not working.

Oil consumption TDI 184 (remapped) update: So an update on my oil consumption. This may or may not apply to you depending on the issue and will need investigating further aside from the fact that these engines are normal to burn oil (according to VAG) I didn't manage to get a compression test done in the end and instead did the following which seems to have (so far anyway) reduced or resolved the issue: I used Liqui moly engine flush (ended up staying in there for more than 30min due to sump plug threaded long story ) Flushed oil and flush using cheap 5w30 oil then added fresh new oil from Ravenol SVMP 5w30. Added Liqui Moly Cera-tec additive. So far have covered 1500k miles and not a drop used and also the oil seems a lot clearer whether that's the cera-tec coating time will tell. So for now the issue seems to be sorted although maybe not fully cured but sometimes to try if you have high oil consumption. Not to mention the car runs so much smoother and better especially in this heat lol. I'm now planning one 3-5k oil change intervals moving forwards.

Anyone know what tips fault code is referring to? It's engine related

Mine had a similar issue. Things to consider: DPF cleaning ? If full Oil change service? On time ? Oil type etc Injector cleaning Carbon clean Sticky callipers?

I'm having the exact same symptoms. The wobble is definitely there and my rear passenger Friend picked it up straight away and confident it's the rear shock since he had the same on his BMW. I'm also opting to go for b4's with eibach springs.

Interesting, I'm going to try Ravenol RVP oil to see if it makes a difference, heard good things about it and liquid moly/millers Mind you I had an oil change with quantum then used Castrol for top ups I believe the quantum and Castrol are both the same thing

Anyone know what this part is called or where to order? Gears have play in them and garage reckons this needs replacing (the plastic black bit)

Mines also Burning oil (cuna) thought not out the exhaust. Had to top a litre twice now. TDI remapped. Awaiting to get a compression test done and daignostics

Yea I think I'll need to do a new oil change I will test for smell. Usually check when engine parked overnight. The oil was provided by myself

Would OBD11 pick up something like this or a mechanic check ?

The oil was changed last December 12th along with the filter. It's been doing heavy motorway mileage since then with some town driving. Yes even when warm the oil seems to be everywhere How would diesel mix in with the oil ?

Yea I'm going to check this again today to be sure. My dipstick on the MK3 is a bit funny as the oil is even all over it even to the top

It's on 119k only recently noticed it when it's cold start first thing. It went low on oil last month but was topped up so wonder if it's abit dry ? Been mapped as well but no issues there.

Anyone any idea why my deisel VRS engine sounds like a tractor (almost tapping) on starting when cold ? It goes away once driving and warm

Any ideas what the difference between these 2 is? LL (long life) but what's M? VRS Diesel DpF remapped. I must say I used M as a top up and could tell the difference straight away felt so much smoother and quieter.

Yes they feel very harsh over these roads but tbh I might look into KW street comfort coilovers as that may dampen the ride instead of going down to 17" wheels. I've heard good things about KW

B6 sounds good choice. Will they lower the car though? Only reason I'd go B8 is if I'm gonna use 17" wheels so lowering would fill the arch/gap. And yes the state of the roads is like driving over the grand canyon right now my fillings are about to fall out 🤣 (hence the 17's)

Definitely DPF issue sounds like. I had the same issue. If you have OBD then can download VAG DPF app to check soot/ash levels. Soon as I heard the fan is switch car back on and take it for a blast to clear it out.

Time to upgrade these suspension what is everyone's thoughts on the B8 shocks? I'm wanting not too much harshness and lowering. Moderate lowering using eibachs but either b4 or b8's and will also be dropping down to 17" alloys. I've heard the ride is too firm or harsh with b8's?

I'm still getting used to it and the fuel mpg seems to have improved too until I floor it lol. The 3 modes seem to have changed too although I have it in sport all the time now. Mine's a TDI manual 6.

😎🙂gotta love that pull. Certainly put a smile on my face lol.

So finally had a stage 1 tune OEM + and must say I'm impressed. The tune seems to have changed the car altogether where before it used to feel like running out of gears but now just keeps pulling like a train. Feels well planted and very tourqey. Went from 183 to 232bhp. Awesome GTI were just well....awesome ,🤣amazing team I highly recommend you give these guys a shout they were brilliant from start to finish.

I'm having a similar issue which flagged up durk g a stage 1 tune. Will get it checked and confirmed this week. Hoping it's actuator or minor and not needing a new turbo.

Yea they did mention the actuator control, hope it's not too big of a job. I've heard a clean out of the turbo sometimes cures it ? Worst case a replacement

Wow 😀that's amazing. Some good figures there at least they're a reputable map I remember Ben was the main guy for Skodas back in the day. I can't wait hope they can fix it lol even after putting back to stock it felt like it was mapped 🤣unless it was placebo affect lol.
