Re: B6 2.0 Tdi (140) DSG Turbo whistle

Is it like a sirene? You take your foot off the pedal and it whistles? If so it could be cracked. Take it to a couple mechanics and get 2 opinions before you spend your money on anything.

Looking really good. How come you didn't spray the side mirrors black? :-o

Re: 2.0tdi juddering problems

The set up is all done by them and they'll have a preset map for your engine if they already do turbos for that engine, so you can drive off straight away, however if you want to make the most of the turbo there's always space for fine tuning you just need to find the specialist in remaps.

Re: 2.0tdi juddering problems

The garage is in Manchester (google it and you should come out with an address in Mossley), the turbos are remanufactured meaning they get after market parts to increase performance needs, they also do (or at least used to) a 12month warranty and I suggest you drop them a message because they do ple...

Re: 2.0tdi juddering problems

It's not hard to get 240bhp in this engine... it copes well with it and I heard you can go to 260bhp before you have to actually start worrying or paying big bucks. An hybrid turbo is a must but there's plenty of ways to build power up... I will replace my fuel filter this Friday (couldnt do it las...

I totally agree with you and I plan on taking the time to check it out this Summer for the exact same reasons you mentioned. My driving style is not the calmest, and with over 240bhp on a 140bhp engine I think their will be a certain degree of wear and tear happening :hyst however I understand metal...

2.0tdi juddering problems

So my car judders quite bad at high rpms when under high stress, like when I have the foot down, which is always, but especially noticeable if I do so in hills going up, like in a bridge say.. So I've consulted several people and some say its injectors or fuel filter, I took the cheaper option (filt...

19's on mine and I can't wait to get them changed. It's been 1.5yrs now and I've gone through different suspension sets but the ride quality is massively affected by them... shame because the car is a beauty with them on. So hey ho if you want to buy a set of 19s you know who to get in touch with no...
