So, this past week my van spent a few days at the dealer.... replaced the 2 turbopressure actuators and the short EGR pipe, also cleaned the DPF and this solved the sluggishness of the car and diesel fumes from the cabin..... it finally drives like it should.

Now the car is ready for tuning.

Still on the to-do list: Seats
carpet lining
front spoiler (ordered)
340mm brakes
