Thanks for everything guys. I wasn't able to get much with the unregistered version and gave up. I ordered the 10 vin one because I think I will run into friends around here that need help and I haven't been able to find a competent shop. I am waiting for it to come in so I can do the job and...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I think I will buy the new cable and software. I have two ecu's for the 2002 so that will burn all 3 uses. considering 10 just in case a friend needs help. The reseal didn't look too bad, but will make sure I have an inspection mirror handy.

Sooo, long pause. I gave up on putting in the 11mm pump because I don't have VCDS. I figured I would just put the seal kit in the 10mm pump but reading it looks like I will probably have to do a timing adjustment for that as well since the writeups are saying even if I mark the housings it will...

I don’t suppose there is any way to get the pump on without taking off the cam sprocket like I did on the 2015. And are the locking tools different? I don’t have a vag-com so that would be a major expense for one job. The 2015 went back together just by backing off the tensioner and putting the...

Oh, I had no idea. I figured it was much more involved than that. Maybe I should just put it in. Is swapping as complex as replacement of timing belt?

I have started smelling some diesel leakage around the injection pump. Not quite sure where the leak is but it is pretty small, just enough to make things a little wet and smell but nothing running out. I ran across a guy (with a good reputation) that had an 11mm pump off an automatic ALH which...

For the benefit of others, the mileage countdown is tied to the ecu, not the cluster.

Preferably Montreal or some other nice spoked wheels. Don’t have to be perfect but at least round. Bill

I didn’t get that letter. I asked the guy to check and see about an estimate to fix the car and he said if they were willing he would call me back. Have not heard anything yet. I knew the Nox sensors were covered but when they did the DPF at 78k they told me not to drive the car because if it...

I tried the local dealer one more time and he suggested I not put any money into a 2016 535dx with 90k miles. In his exact words the emissions stuff is going to cost more than the car is worth.

Does anyone happen to know if when you start a 200 mile countdown does it record in the dde or ecu some would say or is it mileage on the cluster? I really wish I could locate a dealer that wanted to work on diesels and was trustworthy within a few hundred miles from me. Is there a forum I can...

Btw, I have found a spare ecu so I just need it cloned and tuned now.

Kerma, I have pretty much had it with getting a no start in x miles and being in the middle of nowhere and having to keep the engine running for a couple of days to get home. After this happens one time without warning you pretty much want to dump the car. And the dealer wants $8000 to replace...

The tuners in Canada do all sorts of stuff. I will try calling. Also trying to find a dde part number 8588425 so I can have it cloned to match mine. That way I can swap back and forth. Thanks, Bill

None of the places mentioned so far offer off road delete tuning. The forum link did help me find a def injector removal and cleaning thread which is very helpful.

Thanks for the forum link and the suggestion. Rocketchip is very inexpensive but I believe long term I need to prepare for off road deletes. I have purchased a cloned dde and will go back and forth. Rawtech is one place I found. Unfortunately I am going to have to do most of the work myself as...

I would appreciate any suggestions on a vendor for BMW tuner. I need to find the best overall sometime in the next week.

So is the consensus that I can have a unit cloned to my ecu and either unit would work in this 2015 Jetta TDI? It’s going to be expensive, but I will bear it. 799 for the cloned ecu and then the 600 tune on top of that.

Based on the experts here, it is obvious to me that the claims from suppliers such as FS1 are false as stated on their website. From FS1 website: “Our 2015 Volkswagen Jetta ECM will arrive Programmed & Updated to your vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). The unit will be Plug and Play...

Ok I got it, unobtainium. I will need to base something else in the location where it was going eventually, which is totally dealer inaccesible. My other option is I have a purely manual pump head for an ALH so I could buy another one of those rather than planning to move this one. Thanks...
