What have you done to your Audi or Volkswagen today????

[purple_heart77]

Like the OP, I had both the B6 Passat and Yeti decarbonized. There was a noticeable power gains and improved MPG on the old B6. The Yeti seen some power improvement and also a little better fuel economy.
B6 104K km, Yeti 40K km.

I will see Big Z in 20K km!

I was very skeptical, but when I felt the difference in the B6, I said what the hell, it can't hurt. I was pleasantly surprised. Yeti does only short run not exceeding 80km/h. 15 mins one way and back, after the decarbonizing there was a noticeable power increase. For me there is value in this service.

Nice. I'm close to 90k right now, so it's probably worth checking.

I'll suggest you do it at your oil change.

BTW, did you have your front windshield changed by Massey?

Thread: Audi FSI Engine Carbon Build-up Megathread

Above link should help you guys understand the scope of the problem that the direct injection engines have.

Thanks for the review purple_heart77. Much appreciated.

Yea I did.. about a year ago

If you from south you can check Carplus. Those guys changing bulbs easy.

No issues, everything working normal, ie auto lights, auto wipers etc? Headlights come on automatically when you cross 100mph?:grin:

It's a PITA but possible. I changed out the wires inside my lamps since most euros are prone to the insulation breaking down inside the lamp
so I did the swap to led

That access port is too small. The bulb type is wedge for the park light and the front indicator is P21 like the rear bulbs or t20?

[jhonnieblue]

anyone know the part numbers for front brakes for the passat b7 as well as rotors?

[neexis]

ABS sensor went out yesterday.. dash lit up like a xmas tree.

BA changed it out this morning. The part cost About $800.. slightly less than what ECS Tuning sells it for.

Right rear part # WHT003858

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

I'm surprised they had it in stock. I wonder if it's a different part for the Passat. So far I've only heard it go on those.

[neexis]

It might be the same.. I see it being listed for all models of the Mk6 Jetta as well.

Apparently they can throw fault codes if they're dirty etc.

Tuned my R&D Jetta 1.4tsi stage 2 ECU remap, stage 1 DSG tune...250 to 260hp, 280tq

2.5inch Catless Downpipe custom made by Farley in Barataria.

Car way faster than with stage 1 tune, engine oil temperature at 89 deg on a 30 deg day....on a 37 deg day, engine oil temp at 94 deg.

Removed turbo heat shield which saved me 4 to 5 deg

Are the units known to be problematic?

[syncrod]

can't say for sure, research online suggested that the internal pressure sensor is weak and prone to fail somewhere near the 5 year old mark. my unit is the MK60EC1. I believe the newer mk6 uses a MK70 which is abit smaller but similar issue. last quote I got was 25k, I'm using a eBay purchased used unit with similar feature set (Hill hold and all the other goodies). cost around 1500 for unit, fluid and installation.

there are companies in the UK that claim they can repairs these unit for around 2k+. but for now if it working fine. you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
also if ever you need to change one of these units it's recommended to backup the long coding using a vcds autoscan. without this code you will need BA to program the unit directly from VW

VW guys:

Have any of you done the 60k mile/90k km service either at the dealer or on your own?
I'm looking to get this done on my own and I'm trying to compile a list of parts/services that need to be performed.

From the VW Maintenance manual, so far:

Oil/filter
Air filter
Cabin air filter (possibly)
Spark plugs

Is there anything else?

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Brake fluid? Check your pads? That's about all I can think of...grease the sunroof rails?

[neexis]

No sunroof

Brake pads probably about due for a change as well.

Didn't see anything in the service manual about the Coolant though.

[jhonnieblue]

have to order some new rotors myself.. looking at https://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Pa ... ES2167540/

[neexis]

What's the problem with your current rotors? Any symptoms in particular?

[jhonnieblue]

Lip dept had dropped a couple mm. The car is over 100k now so it's recommend to change then. I already replaced the pads. I'll just swap out the rotors when I get them
