Lovely car but is my first auto and I simply don't like it.
Also the ride is too harsh for the missus.

I have had lots of probs with the dpf. Do the passat suffer the same thing

Re: Using Diesel as Engine flush????????

Ok you guys have talked me out of the flush so just go for a straight oil change.

what about fuel filter, is it always best to remove the housing and empty it fully to get rid of any poo in the bottom? and do I have to fill it back up with diesel before put new filter in?

Cheers dudes :-bd

Re: Using Diesel as Engine flush????????

I am seeing a general consensus here lol

just want to try and clean the inside a bit
