.....failed EGR club . 2013 Passat 90,000 miles. I suppose not disastrous mileage. I notice a week ago when the engine was idling when cold it stumbled and nearly cut out with a smell of unburned diesel. The light came on yesterday.... Oh well

As Gaz says the 170 will map to about 200 - 220 depending on the car, a proper rolling road setup will fine tune to things like how good the clutch etc is. A 140 only to about 170 from what Ive read, there are differences in injector size and turbo etc. My 170 without remap can easily break tractio...

Just for useful info, if we're talking about the common rail engines the 140 and 170 engines are identicle and also the injectors, the turbo is the only difference. The basic engine is the same, pistons, conrods etc etc I have the B7 Passat with the CFFB 140 engine and i fitted the CFGB 170 turbo an...

61 plate SE 140TDI with 75K on and I cannot wait to see the back of the nail. Got it last April with 38k on it and it felt dreadful. Felt tired, soggy and worn out. Build quality is average at best, plenty of business cards wedged in the dash panels to stop the rattles, drivers seat belt failed a w...

Hmmm not so sure. I'm now at 81k and not a single rattle or squeak totally reliable and it's been down every back road and rough Irish lanes imaginable

Theres an option for it using the computer software. I still havent bought mine someone else should tell you but im sure i have read a few places where people have done this I thought so as well,but when I tried it ,with a genuine VCDS HEX+CAN version,it didn't work,and I followed all the steps in ...

My experience is a little different than some on here. A friend had a 2012 Passat 1.6 and i have 2013 2.0l. I drove his and the low down power was dead compared to mine, disapointing in comparison. 2.0 a nicer drive. Not being biased it's the reason i bought a 2.0. The 2.0 CR140 engine is a tough un...

Tried this on my B7 2013. It accepts the new coding but doesn't work.

I know they're MQ350 rated for strength but are the ratios the same between them? I saw a vid on YouTube and a 177 seem to have a lower 3rd gear ratio than mine . My 6th does 100mph at approx 2500rpm and approx 70mph at 4000rpm in 3rd. Can any 170/177 owners tell me what their rpm is at 70 in 3rd et...

Can you share the settings for the B7 please, can pm me with it being the B 8 forum

I can't see the water pump failure and EGR failure anything to do with being a blue motion.

My engine runs like a dream, 70k on it now but has a slight annoying little habit. It does it mainly in the warm up stage and mostly at low speeds. When moving along and your release the accelerator and then press it again it's like the engines gives a little miss. The car also slightly jerks when i...

I am another pilgrim from the Skoda camp.

What made you change? At the time i was going to get another one but there was a transition between the old and new model and would have to wait nearly a year for the new vRS to come out.

The crimson is gorgeous. 2 friends have them. One problem with it is that it's a colour that needs good sunlight on it to bring it out. Problem in Ireland is we have clouds 99.9% of the time and can look a little dull in the distance. Have I the right man in saying you had a vRS octavia with decent...

The replacement for my Skoda Superb SE Greenline Estate will be a 150GT manual Estate in Night Blue with optional XDS, Sound deadening glass,230v socket and manual side window blinds. I'm taking a leap of faith with the 18" wheels, although, the lower suspension and 16" wheels on my exist...

Looks like a bluetooth module missing. What radio does your car have? If it's a RNS 315 you don't need one under the seat as it would have it built in to the radio.

I thought all the B7's were full Bluemotion? Gearing on mine in 6th gear at 100mph on the autobahn is at 2500 rpm.

I never said it was a sports car. It's a good car but it's as boring as s***e, but i do know , and from my experience that 190bhp is a nicer drive than 150bhp in a Passat , faster and far better for overtaking etc . Makes the car less boring than it already is..

But the 150 was just easier to drive quickly that the 190. That statement IMO is pure rubbish from my experience ... My car put out standard 152bhp ( Cr140). It now has 200bhp, also has the XDS diff. Whether it "scrabbles" or not it would annihilate the car when it only had 150bhp in ever...

Update on mine. March 2013 B7 2.0 140 ( 200bhp ). Now 67k and hasn't missed a beat. Cracked windscreen though

I thought the digital speedo was standard from factory? Mine was anyway

My R-Line 190 DSG in Tungsten Silver arrived today. Completely standard due to company rules however I did get the plug and play sound system added by the dealer. Only done a couple of short drives and the car feels great :) . Seems weird putting your faith in adaptive cruise control when the cars ...

They must have aded this on the 2014 on B7's

I don't either. Seat occupancy? Why would you want the dash to tell you who's sitting on a seat
