Update. Code cleared from driving, but came back on in the winter, and still on. Definitely a problem with the deiselgate mandatory fix. I dont have the energy to fight the dealer over it. VW wins.

I am dealing with this now in our 2013 TDI sportwagen. We had the "fix" done at 94K miles. At 103K miles, the dpf light came on. Dealer claimed driving style not optimized for regens. For the record, this car drive in and out of Boston, commuting highway/local, 70 miles per day, 5+ days per...

Good fun.. Reminds me of my 82 Scirocco that I owned in the early 90s. I put 100w H1 bulbs in all 4 lamps. 10 gauge wires, right to the bulb terminals, 4 relays, 4 in line fuses, and 4 10g grounds right to the battery. Had the yellow hella fogs on relays too... High beams with all 4 flame...

Of course. And they are great in TDI Wagon!

From koni na application lookup: rears, special active: 2010 passat cc, golf R rear koni sa pn 8045 1085 2013 jsw, golf 6, 8045 1084. 09-16 tiggy fwd and awd 8045 1228 08 R32 8045 1083 06-13 Audi A3 fwd and awd 8045 1226 Would love to see rebound and compression dynos compared.

Im noticing that the koni special actives for mkv amd mk6 have several part numbers availabe, in addition to the sportwagen application from idparts. This would be for different weight ranges. Tiguan, audi A3, golf, and others. Might be worth lookin into for my A3. The sportwagen app might...

Yes. Oem 2013 tdi jsw, 124k miles rears replaced with koni special active. Old shock were cleary all done. Original fronts seem ok for now.

http://forums.tdiclub.com/showpost.php?p=5455064&postcount=170 MA to VA, and back this week. Very comfy on harsh roads. Takes big hits like potholes well. Not as agressive as the stock shocks. Handles speed bumps in stride. Mismatch with the fronts is noticeable, especially when cornering...

Dsg service via my homemade bottom fill set up and vcds for the temperature reading. Oil change too. And fuel filter. Last oil change was done at colonial vw in medford.. how hard is it for a dealership to put ALL the belly pan screws back? 3 rear screws missing and the rear of the belly...

I installed the rear special actives in my wifes 2013 tdi sportwagen today. At 116k, the rear oem sachs were dead for sure. No gas pressure in either one. Bottom coil of one spring broken off. New oem rear springs and mounts. I added some audi TT upper spring seats for an extra quarter...

Thanks. Anyone familiar with harbeck trailers? Where can i get parts in the usa if i need them?

I just picked up a used Harbeck sailboat trailer. German, late 80's. Seems very solid. Has a funky brake setup that i am going to ditch. I think it was used for a star class boat. I am putting my rhodes 19 on it. Its only going 6 miles, twice a year. Boat and trailer weigh 1800 lbs. Is...

A stiffer Rsb will make cornering seem flatter, but ride quality suffers on bad roads. Also, as posted earlier in this long thread Fsds dont like to be lowered, Due to the bump stops confusing the special valve that controls damping. I am assumins same with the special actives. What...

Too bad for me you guys are on the wrong side of Boston.. it would be much too tempting to bring the tdi in and keep my fingernails clean ;)

Holy crap you guys are fast. UPS just showed up. Now i have to work on the car this weekend :)

Thanks. Ordered from idparts.

Thanks Wilkins, for the reply. I have been down the Bilstein rabbit hole and back, with my 06 audi A3 3.2 awd. Wifes car goes on family road trips, commutes, and all of that. Need comfy. Just ordered the special actives and a whole pile of fluids and filters for the tdi sportwagen. Before...

Thanks. Are the special active rears a monotube or twintube for this car? Rears for now. Fronts seem ok. Plus more of a pita.

Bumping up this classic thread. Great reading. My wifes 13 tdi sportwagen has a broken rear spring, so at 110k miles, i am thinking shocks as well. Does anyone have real world experience with koni special actives as a rear only replacement shock, while keeping the stock front struts? This car...
