2002 ALH TDI
Member
Good evening!
After logging a pile of miles on a 2002 ALH 5 speed car, and some recent nickle and diming to be expected from a 313k car, I decided to move into the dark side and bought a loaded 2012 Sportwagen TDI with a 6M trans. Driving it just few miles, i loved all the refinements and tech. Yay me! True to the VW form, just 23 miles from the dealer delivery I have a MIL with a P0401 and a P2002 code. Ugh. 88k miles, freh from service with the VW updates done, this was a buyback which was just reconditioned.
As i stood with my MK4, the plan was to delete this and do a malone tune with the 1st emissions problem that arose....I was thinking I would make it out of the first damn day.
After reading, I see alot of info, but no great info on doing a 100% clean delete without it looking cobbled. I know I need to purchase and EGR delete, and fab a downpipe. What of all the wiring and such on this car? And, those who have done the stage 2 malone tune, are you happy with the drivibility?
Thanks for your time!
