none but will do a regen every 450 milles. i ve removed the dpf myself and took a long journey back to home country and drove 4500milles. no issues no limp mode just every 450milles a bit of smoke and a regen of nothing... you will hear this as engine sounds a bit different. i did the remap when i c...

refit and turn over.. 100%

100% sure only if you download map from ecu and you know what you're looking at...

yeah, mine one is the same. 170 bmr. runs fine no smoke just the smell....

AXA was the cheapest for me too.

nope

100% chinese... you will end up paying 2x

fingers crossed

no, its not the sensor. your dpf is clogged. change it or remove it....

coilovers, but avoid the cheap ones.

local would be M5 Junction 2 / 3. dopeman, how did you clear the dpf, as i thought you could see how full it is, and see the percentages drop when a regen is done. how long was it after you cleared it that the turbo went? and where did you get your remap done? did the remap introduce any other prob...

even nice 17" monte carlo s will do

had the same problem... same engine. took my cable, logged in and went for a drive. did a regen, errors gone but problem didnt. eventually clogged dpf put back pressure on turbo and there i was, new turbo needed. had enough, took the dpf out, welded all back together done a remap and car is flying. ...

true... just done the job on my one, different engine code but same job.

where about are u based?

bmr in no different. mine is in the garage with turbo needed rebuilding and pump sorted.

i bought the exact same cable from ebay and it will not comunicate with the ecu.... I was ment to copy and send the file then upload the new one, once received... waiste of time, leave the pros to do it.

yeap... 100% oil pump failure

mine is in the garage, BMR engine, done the conversion for oil pump, but need rebuid turbo... love the passat....

any lights on dash? get someone with a scan tool, best way to start

u got same engine car colour as i do, i got the dsg and wouldnt trade it for a manual. go for a remap dpf off and you'll be suprized over the difference. i got black cloth sport seats, would love the leather...

2007 will have dpf. mine does, BMR 170hp. usually dpf related issues will trigger a fault code, soo maybe look elseware.
