Re: How many miles to a full tank?
600 miles before the light comes on - slightly better when only m-way but that doesnt happen often.

Re: Engine Fault - Garage
Its been doing it again on the 25 mile trip home, but oddly enough the car feels smoother - its felt lumpy since they did injector 4 but VW say they cant find any faults!

Engine Fault - Garage

Re: Has any one had any problems since (injectors)
Mine pulses when the weather is damp and I'm travelling at constant speed and the engine likes to turn off randomly whilst slowing down - Niether can be traced to a fault but both showed up after they changed the last injector.

Re: Juddering / Misfire on accelerating around 3k rpm
Actually noticed the same thing this morning. Has happened a couple of times, but I don't often rag it so it's not usually an issue. I didn't take a note of the RPM, but I gave it some welly to get off a slip road and it juddered twice as if someone was yanking it backwards briefly. Didn't appear t...

Re: tyres
Your speedo will read slightly faster than you are travelling 1.7% to be precise, so when you are doing 60, you'll actually be doing 59 - not a huge difference!

Re: B6 170tdi wont remap over 193 bhp?
Smoking normally indicates over fuelling (As seen on the simple tuning boxes) - if they expect this as normal then their maps are bad!

Re: B6 170tdi wont remap over 193 bhp?
The siemens ECU wont let-it go more than what you have now mate as the boost is limited...If you had the Bosch ECU/injectors these go higher... Isn't the boost limit controlled by the ECU setting, so surely a remap would allow for a boost limit increase? I'm assuming that as the DPF has been remove...

Re: 2.0 TDi misfiring / stuttering
My 170 has a similiar issue, part throttle and the car hesitates at times - No fault codes, diagnostics show nothing - sometimes it behaves itself sometimes it doesn't. It'll also randomly switch off for no reason at slow speed! Fuel filter has been replaced, MAF has been checked, pump is working as...

Progress since my post yesterday... With my mates help I think we have diagnosed the faulty injector as being on cylinder 2. This meant taking the rocker cover off and cranking the car to get it started. Just got to find a replacement injector now. (not from VW) Did the paets deptartment tell you i...

Re: B6 TDI reliability poll: 2005-2008.
I had to laugh, I bought the Haynes manual for the B6 the other day and in the fault finding section under engine faults nearly every fault had 'Faulty Injector' as a potential cause! They even have a section about the injectors only lasting around 60K

Re: Cam Belt Change at 4 Years - Really Necessary?
There is a reason there is a recommendation of mileage or time - Not only does the belt deteriorate over mileage bit also over time it's composition will change. So not only will it wear, but it'll also become brittle as it's heated/used/cooled etc (As can be seen on older belts where the rubber cra...

Out of my 4 injectors they had to replace the loom on one of them. The injector failed causing a short which fried the loom, this may have been down to being to restart the car and drive it another couple of miles before it went again, when they replaced it they also did a firmware update on the ecu...
