...damage.
Forum posts and websites like those below detail a manner of EGR failure (apparently specific to, or at least most common with, the CFCA 180ps engine) where the exhaust gas cooler 'distintegrates' resulting in aluminium particles finding their way into the inlet manifold and...
Not worried at all, I have a 2016 Euro 5 CFCA (so called oil burning nightmare?), the oil level never changes between oil changes and oil analysis shows Nil everytime.
If its a t5/5.1/6 no one sells them cheap even with buggered engines, every Spring there is a new bunch of 180 CFCA's on the forums asking about high oil use on a new van they just bought for top dollar
Castrol Edge has a flash point of around 200 deg C depending on the grade.
I regularly see oil temperatures of up to 118 deg C on my CFCA, depending on engine load with an ambient of 28 deg C.
As the CFCA oil cooler is combined with the oil filter / EGR cooler the limiting factor on cooling is...
...I’m aware the lower timing belt cover was superceded with a stronger component that is not likely to break and allow the timing belt to be damaged. Make sure that this is fitted on whatever engine goes in.
I have a 2016 CFCA and this cover is aluminium, for some crazy reason VW changed to...
Hi all, There are so many great threads about MSFW retrofits, I'm confusing myself trying to take notes for my setup.
I picked up my T6 recently. A previous owner had already fitted a multifunction steering wheel, but none of the buttons work. The horn still functions.
The previous owner (a...
...a Millers Oils test done on your oil asap. If it comes back with high aluminium content then your engine and turbos are likely stuffed.
Search CFCA on here as there’s a couple of ongoing threads with more info on this.
Resto Resus seem to be replacing a number of engines for some time now...
Thank you, It was suggested here that my EGR may be stuck open I thought the emulator will only function if the EGR valve is closed
Is the T6 Euro 5 the same as T5 I assume it is.
I bought mine direct from Poland here: EGR valve simulator with blanking plates for VW T5 with 2.0 BiTDI CFCA engine
You don't need to delete the EGR function from the ECU. This emulator behaves exactly like a functional EGR and therefore convinces the ECU that all is well. This Tafmet is an...
Probably more than you’d imagine with so many components coded. The ECU for a start.
The 180 CFCA is a very sound engine providing the EGR issue is dealt with, that costs 142 Euro and an hour of your time.
...be a start, if a single cylinder mis-fire, it could have a bent con rod from hydrolocking, could be low compression all round due to bore wear. (CFCA Biturbo 180 engine?) Also getting it on proper diagnostics and reading the live activity in the measuring blocks may give some clues, could be...
Looking EGR emulator from Tafmet, might be an easier way forward.
Just back from talking with local VW specialist garage near Inverness and he didn't think there would be a problem long term just blanking the EGR but he only knew about the Darkside Developments remap.
