    3.0 TDI Valve ID

    malone tune with DPF delete you can run the adblue and EGR off at the same time with or without hardware removed, so i think he only needs to retune one time if hes only doing adblue off with stock everything else initially.

    3.0 TDI Valve ID

    if you already planning on removing the intake manifold, and are tuned then id say it is a no brainer to do the cooler delete at that time, particularly since it makes the valley totally accessible for future

    you don't have to pull the engine but you do have to pull the AC line on the drivers side, there is no way to clear it.

    heres a full list https://sustdi.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/3L-Gen2-Full-Reseal-Kit-Contents.pdf It is also a good idea to replace the EGR to thermostat hose(although it is not critical since it is easily accessible) 059121103H and bypass valve hose to intermediate flange 059121625C...

    EGR Delete Advice/Clarification 3.0 TDI

    I would not. because you will not know when the dpf is at max capacity unless u are constantly monitoring in vcds which im not even sure if it will work at all when tuned. also you dont really know what code is causing limp mode? So maybe its actually the DPF and running a delete tune will...

    And yeah poor efficiency can be a lot of things in these diesel, but thermostat failure is very common cause of poor efficiency becaues the diesel will never reach optimal operating temperature if its stuck open. However, the ECU can also tell if the thermostat is stuck. the thermostat also ECU...

    Thats me! This is kind of wild. Stock part is $500 ish and even at 200$/hr shop rate, thats 5 hours to take something off the top / front of the engine thats easily accesible, drain and fill coolant? that seems way too high. This seems slightly more reasonable in terms of labor. but its...

    Upgrade turbo for Audi 3.0 TDI

    2872 definitely laggy. you notice it. but turbo lag can also be fun since you have some suspense. tunezilla posted a comparison between popular turbos. IMO the Darkside 2566 or the Xman 2265 seem like the goldilocks zone that don't sacrifice much spool but still have good top end. i honestly...

    A6 TDI HPFP Swap?

    i mean yeah otherwise i wouldn't have been able to take the photos. but my advice dont waste energy thinking about it because trash company and product is flawed, overcomplicated, and too expensive. not going to name any names but there are much better kits now for a fraction of the cost.
