When I googled the topic I got a lot of simple answers. I'm looking for actual technical information. What exactly the tune changes how it effects long term reliability what parameters are changed by which tune etc. I didn't find much in the way of that sort of information.

Hey everyone, ok I have a 13 Jetta TDI manual transmission and I have read tuning is a good idea for more power and better fuel economy. I was hoping you guys could shed some light on this. I have been recommended kermatdi tune and Malone. Is there a benefit from one to the other? On the Malone...

Seems to be some confusion on what's the correct part number. Hopefully I ordered the right part 🤷 I've read some models the fans have to come out. Can anyone confirm if that's the case on my mk6 Jetta TDI or if it's just a single part removal

Hey everyone I'm replacing my rcv solenoid on my 13 Jetta TDI tomorrow and wanted to know is there anything I need to know? I have done this job on a 09 rabbit 2.5 it was pretty easy. Is it as simple as evacuating the AC system unplugging the solenoid removing the snap ring pulling it out and...

Yeah it was done at 102,000

Ive read about them getting stuck in the head and breaking is that concern overblown?

My 13 Jetta has 133,000 miles. Runs great fires right up in the cold as well. Should I do glow plugs or do you wait till they exhibit some sort of failure or weakness? What do you guys think?

That's a fair point. Is there a delete kit that's recommended?

I've heard that. Is there a concern of being pulled over and a cop saying something. That's probably a stretch but the concern of a fine worries me. 🤣

Hitting a pothole? Is that lingo for something else entirely?🤣🤣

Warranty was up at 126,000 miles I'm at 133,000

Well that's confusing I guess companies are interchanging the names of the parts. Ugh. So why couldn't a person remove the dpf cut a hole in it chisel the nonsense out and weld it shut stick it back on and tune the car with a dpf delete tune? EGR would still be there i guess.

About 1 hour from st Louis. I shared a picture of the part above.

Yeah $275 on eBay it says it's a genuine VW part to.

I can get a dpf for under $300 and replacement doesn't look all that hard. I'd rather the car not have it but $300 vs $1800 is quite the difference

I have looks like it's a out $1800. We have emissions here as well. My county doesn't but counties around me do so deleting wouldn't probably hurt resale. My main reason for not doing it is the expense. Looks a lot cheaper just to fix it correctly.

Is the part above all I would need basically to do the job? The car is out of warranty so I'll be doing the work myself.

https://tinypic.host/i/J3oBX To do the dpf if mine is indeed checking out would I just need this and possibly a few gaskets?

It is up in August of this year or by 126,000 miles according to VW it has 133,000. I don't even know if they'd say there is a problem that's what I'm trying to actually learn .

On a VW Facebook group i saw that any soot in the exhaust at all means the dpf is bad (cracked) I have a light amount of soot. No codes or anything of the sort though. My 13 mk6 did have the VW "fix" done. I read conflicting things online about what's normal and what isn't in regards to soot. So...
