Got a link to the kit you ordered? and any video's you used to learn how to do it?
I linked to the kit in post 9 earlier in the thread.
Fitting the emulator is pretty easy. The blanking plates are harder but not impossible if you are OK on the spanners.
So I’ve had my T6 into a well known VAG Tuners in Glasgow for some diagnostic testing on why I was intermittently having the glow plug light up and flashing. The issue appears to be the EGR valve needs either replacing with associated pipes cleaned out too or to have the EGR deleted and coded out. What they are saying though is they can’t guarantee that there won’t be emissions issues in the future, they say they have done others without comeback but they have to say that as up front info. Has anyone had emission issues following their EGR being blanked and coded out? I have a 204ps Shuttle 65 plate T6 with 49k miles with FVWSH.
The Tafmet simulator you linked appears to be for a T5 Bi TDI CFCA engines not the T6 and the CXEB engines? Do the kits and simulators work on both?
My T6 is CFCA EU5. You will have to do your own diligence if you have the CXEB sorry.
Sorry, slow response to this.
Eventually I caved and went with a new EGR and did not go for the delete. Ultimately, I decided that I'm a cyclist who does miles of city cycling each week. I benefit from reduced polution and so shouldn't be a hypocrite.
Subsequently though I've noticed that my DPF is doing a regen about every 100 miles which is really too regular. Turns out it is at 40% of life. At this point I'm starting to wish I'd gone for a full emmisions delete (EGR and DPF) and to hell with being a hypocrite....

Have you been allowing the regenerations to complete?
I normally use non-supermarket diesel and addative such as Millars or https://www.amazon.co.uk/HYDRA-DPB-...=B079GY9XQV&ref_=pd_bap_d_grid_rp_0_18_t&th=1
repeated short runs are not good, especially if regenerations do not complete. I use the DPF Monitoring App to whatch the soot levels continue to decline after a regeneration beofore stopping if possible
Hi @T6Andy
I'm looking to get my EGR mapped out after I blank it out. Would you be able to DM me with the name of the VAG tuner you talked to in Glasgow?
Thanks RGB
Quite a few thousand miles now with the Tafmet emulator box fitted instead of mapping. It’s a DIY job. No issues and if anything it runs better than it did with the EGR working. Been through the MoT, would have to be a very eagle eyed inspection to see the hidden box in the loom.
Thanks @Farnorthsurfer , reading other thread and looks like you have the 180 biturbo engine? I did email tafmet yesterday, but they said they don't have an emulator for my van (2017 204 CXEB engine), or that would probably be what I'd look to do.
Yes, that’s what I have. Shame they don’t have a solution for you.
