    Does the dealer have to provide a loaner?

    indeed, its in the pamphlet of course. it stands to reason that the speed the fix had to be developed in, the number of different configurations affected, and they were no doubt leaning on the side of it "it better pass 100% in all conditions" and putting emissions hardware through paces it...

    Overboosting / Wastegate Cycling

    good to hear you fixed it with a valve! i was surprised how much of a difference this made on my swapped van (though to be fair the turbo sits a lot closer to the road and to a wheel in that setup) previously some really funky and irregular boost response, along with boost plausibility codes...

    Diesel delete

    WA doesnt do inspections anymore. im not sure how that works when youre in the pdx-metro as vancouver did have inspections at one point but not every county down there. so it depends on what "vancouver area" means. i think youre on your own here - you can buy the tunes online but i imagine youll...

    (Q) tdi swap in California (how to be approved by state referee)

    unfortunately youre incorrect, theyre completely different blocks. if you want to use the "bolt in" factory vanagon diesel parts (50deg oil pan, motor mounts, etc) you need to use one of the pre-ALH 4 cylinders. if you want to drop in an ALH youll either need a FAS kit (which comes with an oil...

    Going on 16 months in shop

    agreed enjoy the free wheels for as long as theyll let you store your broken car at the dealership :D if this goes on in perpetuity and theres concerns about the warranty expiring or something, ask for the car back and delete.

    (Q) tdi swap in California (how to be approved by state referee)

    we picked up a diesel euro g wagen from LA a couple years ago with SD plates. it seems like its not the end of the world? though i suppose technically against the intent of the law from what i understand. leaving it registered out of state seems easier than bringing it back into CA? maybe bother...

    2015 A6 3.0tdi, ready for upgrades

    awesome! definitely keep us posted on how that all goes... sounds like youre keeping it emissions intact (exhaust hardware wise) for now? is there an a6 specific downpipe setup from darkside or is it some sort of q5 adapted thing?

    Part Out: 1999 4dr 5spd ALH Golf (PDX)

    update - most everything else is either sold, being kept for my vanagon swap, or long gone with the trash... but heres whats left! make me a reasonable offer + shipping on anything you see and its yours... not interested in shipping the dash, but most everything else should fit in a box.

    2015 A6 3.0tdi, ready for upgrades

    curious how you get on with the delete and tune - ive been casually eyeing the later a6 tdis as a compelling next car. especially with values apparently quite low post-diesel gate it seems like a lot of car, and a lot of mpg, for the money
