Cool just to be 100% sure, the CFF engine in the car currently is toast, so the whole CFG engine along with its larger turbo will bolt in and after a tune I'll be good to go?

Thanks for that, any idea if the engine itself might be interchangable? Did they just bolt a bigger turbo on and tune it differently? Cheers

Hi all Not sure if this will be more euro specific than north America, we get the euro stuff here in NZ. Have bought a dead Skoda superb with CFF 2.0 engine(140hp I believe), have my eye on a damaged Passat with a CFG(170?) Might anyone know if these are interchangeable? Have found limited...

Hi everyone Having a problem with an 07 r5 tdi. Esp light comes on and stays on after running for about 20 seconds, every time the vehicle is started. Has been this way for years but has now become a fail for an inspection, threatening to put the car off the road. i have vcds and none of the...

thanks bob that one seems to work, very handy. Yeah looks like the possible culprits are steering angle sensor, brake switch/pressure sensor, maf, wheel speed sensor, none of which are throwing a code through vcds and the ones i can test without the vehicle having to move test fine. Are any of...

thanks Bob, your link doesnt appear to go anywhere? I have spent a few hours researching though, 90% of cases seem to have the dodgy sensor show up in a scan however so my lack of codes makes it a bit more difficult. Are there any sensors that will not throw a code? Unfortunately my laptop needs...

Hoping someone can help me sort my esp light issues, touareg drives fine but has the esp light come on and stay on after 20 seconds. Even if the vehicle hasnt yet moved. Switch works to turn it on and off initially but does nothing after the 20 seconds. Have cleaned switch. been that way for...

Had a look online but couldn’t find much on the subject. Have a left over low kms dsg box from an 08 a3 tdi,16v pd engine gearbox code kmx. Have my eye on an 09 Octavia vrs Tdi with an early common rail and sick gearbox with code lqt. Both being 6 speed dsg boxes and look identical. Any reason I...

Thanks for that guys, pretty heavy and way out of my price range though! I have another boat with a twin cam tdi which I made a manifold for they're easy compared to the 8v. Think it's worth doing the swap

Looking to replace the asz pd130 8v in my jetboat with a 16v, as a jacketed exhaust manifold is a whole lot easier to make without the inlet manifold in the way. Wanting to stick with pd which leaves a BKD so far as I can see in the transverse offerings. Have seen conflicting information...

Thanks Vince. Yeah from what i could make out on the wiring diagram one gets a signal to the ecu when the brakes are off and the other gets an earth through the taillights? Vcds seemed to think I had it right. Made some progress today in that if I clear the engine codes it would rev but if I...

hi everyone have a no longer roadworthy awd octavia 2.0 pd which i have cut the back half off and replaced with a tube frame, just as a toy to drive around the paddock. unfortunately somewhere in my heavy weight reduction i have caused an issue where it now has zero response to the throttle...

Mongler- the ls is certainly the engine of choice for jetboats here in NZ, they are nowhere near as cheap as in the states however and petrol is considerably more expensive than diesel. i already have a pd130 in a jetboat which goes great, just getting the new project itch. tdimeister- spool is...

Hi everyone Looking at installing a 3.0 v6 tdi into a jetboat and just had an idea id appreciate some input on. Would be fabricating jacketed manifolds etc so wanting to future proof to allow for future hp upgrades. only real option i can see to get above what the standard 2260 can offer is a...

Well I think I've managed to answer my own question and a gtc1549vz off an audi might be the way to go. Already vacuum too. Have seen various reports of their capability from 170-220hp can anyone comment? Not the end of the world if I'm slightly short of my 200hp goal

Can anyone comment on how much laggier a gtb1756vk would be, being newer technology but off a 2.7L? These seem fairly affordable now and should meet my hp requirements.

Hi everyone. Have a BKD in a fishing boat, hooked up to a stern leg. Currently just running the standard turbo but wanting to upgrade to something capable of around 200hp just for getting it up on step. Boat is then run on closer to 50% throttle the rest of the time. Wanting something not too...

Just came across this thread and thought id update it in case anyone ever came across a similar problem. Turned out to be the bearings in the water pump had given up allowing the gear to rub on the pump mounting bolts(gear driven water pump being within oil system) new pump and cleaned out the...

Thanks Eddie I poked a small wire into the ecu plug and checked continuity of the 3 wires and all seemed OK. Pins in the ecu look OK too. Might be possible to run the earth wire externally instead of through the ecu? What goes on inside that magic box is beyond me! At this point I think I'm...

Thanks for the replies guys. Frank- Yes there are 3 wires from sensor to ecu, black/white, brown/green and violet/brown from memory can confirm if it's useful though. i have a diagram but have not been able to find any info on which wires are earth/sensor/power, but i can test it anyone can...
