Another Pentosin user, all my DSGs get it. Pentosin has a kit number 8038207

Again why are you bringing lifetime fluids into the thread for? No brake fluid is lifetime. I don't care in the slightest if people want to set their money it on fire and take a dump on it. I see enough morons putting pointless junk on their vehicle for the placebo effect. The stock system is...

You brought up wash and wax?why? No relevance to this thread. VWs brake fluid change recommendation IS 2 years so not sure why you think it's overkill. Shows how little you know about VWs. I don't care what you do with your vehicle or anyone else, facts are facts. Your searching for problems...

Trying to create a solution to a problem that does doesn't exist.

Sounds like you've never been in a tuned DSG car before. No slop box here. I still like manual also. I was mentioning because you'd need a dsg tune if your going bigger power

No but up to a certain point. Your close to maxing out on a gtb2260. Manual or dsg?

Bigger turbo like the CR170 or bigger like the GTB2260

Sorry for late reply Don't put a cold air intake on. They cause more problems than they solve. The gains are ridiculously small, like maybe 1 hp anyway. OEM airbox flows way more than it needs.

If you have stage 2 delete , then your golden. Your turbo will run out of breath before your fuelling does. So don't worry about anything. If there was anything to note, I'd resist the urge to floor it under high load at low rpms in 4-6th gears. The DMF doesn't like the extra torque and is...

I said to check piston protrusion.

Loctite 242/243 is most common as a medium strength lock and removal with hand tools. Loctite 262 is high strength which I use on brake caliper bolts but usually requires hear or high torque to break them loose. I personal use loctite because it has a dual function, locks the thread surface...

I'm not going to lie, I do that too. Clean out old grease, push in some high speed grease used for generator bearings and reinstall seals. I'm a tight a$$ but haven't had any issues so why not.

Just add a wife, that seems to increase noise levels...

Going down the Tuning rabbit hole is where you get tested the most, where to stop and feel happy.

Pretty much what I was thinking

That black plastic looks like a switchover valve of some type, I haven't seen one of those on a 4 cylinder common rail this side of the pond. Can't tell if it's pressure relief type or thermal bypass type, maybe both. If it stuck open it could drain back to tank when off but I don't have a flow...

I'd be asking about these "New" injectors aren't just renozzled used units. Then that would make sense. If rail is losing prime that bad your probably running air through the HPFP which isn't good for long-term.

If your injectors are compensating with those values after only 70k.....

Electric power steering cutting out is a BIG indicator alternator is toast. I've had it on both my common rail tdis just before the warning light comes on and engine cuts out. Also engine idle is increased. PDs not so sure. Change the alternator and might as well change the battery also as its...

It's very dependent on how full the remaining dpf is that's all I can say. You have to know the delta pressure and the soot loading first. If it's over a certain amount it probably won't regen regardless of how many times you try. That's DPF off time. There is ways around it but I won't share...
