...around witht he damping on the front shocks.
On balance, I think they provided a better (for me at least) balance of comfort and handling with 180 degrees of extra damping adjustment (180 degree anticlockwise turn on the adjuster). The effect seemed to be to improve settling after cornering...
Yes, that kind of switch will "identify" itself as a switch outside tailgate.
Just put a 180 ohm resistor in series to make it act as an OEM switch inside - enabling to open tailgate from inside even when van is locked (of course it still won't unlock safe-locked van)
In my car audio days 20yrs ago this would have been reversed polarity on one of the mid bass drivers, each side would sound reasonable individually but obviously 3db down on the stereo pair when the 180 degree out mids cancel each other rather than sum.
Hi all, it would appear that VW have changed the torque setting for the aux tensioner bolt from 50Nm plus 90deg to 50Nm plus 180degrees.
See below from member SimonS today.
Can someone confirm the tensioner torque settings please, I have found 50NM and 180 deg and 90 deg.
I assume they changed...
Yes, I’ve cleaned a 102 unit, cooler rammed solid with carbon and valve seized, same as 150ps
180ps EGR is a different problem again - internal corrosion.
204ps EGR seems to be a trend for coolant leakage.
For reference my 6.1 regenerates around every 180-200 miles (about 70% dual carriageway 30% local)
28 hours seems implausible on the face of it as this thread has been going on longer than that - I can only assume that's the last time the conditions for a regen were met but it was not attempted...
The 180bhp engine has a reputation for reliability issues. So the garage are advising you correctly. If it’s smoking you will be clogging the dpf, depending upon how much oil it’s using.
if it’s a keeper, you will be replacing the engine and whatever is not re-useable. Hopefully it’s not really...
If the weather is that bad £180 is a small price to pay compared to damaging your van
I've just cancelled going away tomorrow due to high winds so lost £50 not £4500 for a new pop top
Hey Jetrebel. I'm kinda feeling your pain, and you are not alone.
I previously had a stock 2014 180 BiT DSG Highline Kombi for 8 years, and loved it (15k to 100k miles over the period). But due to the known issue with EGR & oil usage issues, it sadly went, and now got a 2019 T6 150 DSG...
...As per link here are some Darkside Developments T5 T6 EGR cooler blanking plates for 2.0 bitdi 180 CFCA used on my engine for a few months. All good re useable condition as stainless steel. Fixings may be required, I have put a couple of them in the package, but a few more required unless you...
EGR map out and block on an old BiTDI 180 and now anew engine and turbo's for 7k miles with no issues. EGR work shouldnt be noticed in an MOT. When the DPF needs replacing that will go and be mapped out.
Yes, I see what you mean. I've ordered a Renogy 200W panel and see how it goes when it arrives. It's getting the time to do things at the moment. FWIW Renogy 200W Flex panel going for £180 on the Renogy site v £210 on Amazon. See, now I feel like I've saved money :D
Knackered 180 BiTDI DSG 4motion, 32-35 most of the time and 29-31 fully loaded AT tyres off to France and back
It would be interesting to do a run using google for the distance and then fill up after to get a very true consumption
Is the % suppose to zero out after a regen? Mine drops to 30%?
I see a regen around every 150-180 miles, hopefully CarPlay with make this a nice habit to get into checking.
