    40k service complete at home, notes, one question

    You can actually disable the service reminders with vcds. I don't really need something to tell me when a 10k service is due.

    Metal in fuel filter

    I'm not going to dump the car… I like it too much. Worse case scenario, I'm glad I got the 2micrin contain flow and pure flow adapter installed. If it does fail, I'll do the work myself. That said I really don't think it's HPFP related. If it were that pump I don't see how it could make metal...

    Metal in fuel filter

    I've researched this topic and I found mixed opinions. Most posts I've found are older and I'm wondering if there is more experience now. 2014 TDI, 40k fuel filter change. Just like at 20k, there was some metal flakes in the filter housing. They do stick to a magnet. I called the dealer at...

    Oil usage?

    I have a 2014 Jetta that didn't start using oil until about 30,000 miles. I haven't measured, but a good estimation would be about a quart per 6,000 miles. Not excessive, but it's new and I'm wondering what could cause this. I've looked for leaks and I don't notice any smoke out the exhaust...

    CR140 Flapper Valve Performance...

    I have stage 2 and no dPF. I got a check engine light when I disconnected mine. I drove about 10 miles no problem but the light came on after I started the engine again. Definite improvement with it unplugged though. I'm going to contact someone and get a price quote for getting that tuned out.

    Are there Error codes stored if you check with VCDS?

    CR140 Flapper Valve Performance...

    I'm also wondering if the CEL comes on if the motor is unhooked on a tuned engine. I'd be willing to experiment if no one knows. As long as it doesn't go into limp mode.

    2014 jetta vcds questions

    Couple quick questions... Is there any way to check the DPF ash loading on a 2014 Jetta? I followed the procedure on myturbodiesel.com (by going into long adaptation and entering channel 13) and it shows 0 ML and the other values aren't labeled. No soot load measured or calculated. Is there...

    ELSAWIN or ERWIN?

    I'm looking for the best source of info for my 2014 jetta TDI. I see ELSAWIN 5.0 only covers VW to model year 2013. Is that correct? Are there big enough differences between those model years that would make this useless? How about ERWIN? I think for 35 bucks for a day I could download...

    cyclic buzzing or chattering

    Good morning. Yesterday I made a 300 mile trip with my 2014 Jetta TDI. My car has about 7500 miles on it (mostly highway miles and my drives are mostly 30-50 miles-not many short trips). I noticed a chattering or buzzing sound coming from in front of the driver seat. It may be in the dash...

    DPF delete question on resale

    Seems almost worth it to actually plan on reinstalling it. If I drive 2-300k miles before selling, I would save money even if it cost 500-1000 to have it reinstalled and the ECU returned. That is assuming that Without a delete I would have to have the DPF replaced in that timeframe.

    Would a Malone stage 1 or 1.5 tune affect the DPF longevity?

    DPF delete question on resale

    I'm concerned about the DPF for a few reasons. I think it's an unreliable system that is going to be expensive later on. I also worry about the regen process. Luckily, I'm not in a city/county that requires emissions but that could change anytime.

    DPF delete question on resale

    I searched this site and others and couldn't get a clear answer. I have a 2014 Jetta that I plan on keeping for as long as possible. I drive over 100 miles a day and would like to keep this car until 300k+, if possible. I also plan on doing a DPF delete soon, with a malone tune. Has...
