Need some help here. Have a 2015 Touareg TDI with 14k miles. Bought it with 1000 miles on it. Went through the diesel gate stuff recently and had the "fix" done. I emailed Malone and rawtek and both told me "delete" tuning after the diesel gate "fix" was no issue. Last weekend we deleted the car by installing the rawtek delete kit and thus removed the Nox and DPF cans and replaced them with their straight pipes which are of great quality by the way. The rawtek kit reuses the DPF sensor but deletes the two sensors that were in the Nox can. Malone sent me a flashzilla 3 which I had issues with at first but somehow the 4th computer was able to get it updated. It kept reading "unit not configured". Once the flashzilla issue was fixed on its own i uploaded the stage 2 econo tune Mark sent and the car ran great for 100 miles or so. All of a sudden the DPF filter indicator light came on and the screen read diesel particulate filter, see manual. another 30 miles later the car went into limp mode and has been stuck there since with no DPF filter indicator illuminated and the VCDS oddly enough now reading no faults. I have double checked that the sensors are unplugged, everything appears normal but the car has a regen type of smell when sitting still at idle and may be stuck in a form of regen mode. Tuning it back to stock and re tuning the malone tune has not helped at all. Of course it is Christmas and am getting very limited support at this point but would like to get this thing running if at all possible before the first of the year. Thanks in advance.
