I would love a video all about the EGR, about the pro's, con's, what is more fuel efficient and how much
because I am pretty sure that it is legal in the netherlands

With this engines all owners should pay attention to what oil they use. VW admited that the low pressure turbocharger have some sort of design failure resulting in poor lubrication and cooling of the low press. turbocharger shaft.
Another important thing on this types of engines, when you lose coolant, 95% of the time, EGR cooler gets damaged (internally) and exhaust gases mix with coolant. Most likely in this cases you think it's a cylinder gasket problem, since coolant gets out of reservoir with pressure.
Other than that, bulletproof engines even with a nice tune. Don't worry about DSG's on this model, there weren't cases of damages as far as i know.

Good video thanks can you do one on the 180 engine rebuild

Very interesting results. I’m running a 2019 transit custom 130hp, going to upgrade to 170 or 185hp soon hopefully. It would be interesting to see a tuning video on one of these. Sporty Transit van are definitely becoming more popular.
Thanks for the video,
Cheers
Mark.

I own a BITDI DSG 4x4 CXEC. At certain times, such as when climbing a mountain pass, the temperature rises to 130ºC. Do you think it would be essential to install an oil cooler? I change the oil every 15, 000 km.

Excellent video.
Glad to hear a lbs/ft unit of torque too.
We're getting there, stamp out the ft/lbs.
Much love😘

To many extras over old engines not to be, you can't add parts and expect more reliability. Metal parts are probably stronger due to increasing tech, but engine bays today and 20 years ago are like space shuttles

I have a 5.1 bi turbo 130, 000 it's never missed a beat . Upping the bhp in any van is going to cause problems at somepoint.

I have one of the last t5.1 114 hp bluemotion for 5-6 years now.
Tuned to 175 hp its not superfast or have loads of torque but rides good for a van is good on fuel and cheap in insurance because its only a 114 on paper.
Its been super reliable so far nothing wrong with it but only done 60 000 miles...
Aparantley the gearbox isnt superstrong manual 5 speed thats why they did not give it loads of torque for reliability....

Im paralysed. I was in an accident on my motor bike in 2016. I have a RS3 8V.1 MQB S-TRONIC EURO SPORTBACK CZNB with all the bolt ons 650hp. But my dayli is a t6 caravelle dsg 2.0tdi 150hp, what can be done to make this more like my personality. 🎉 🎉

[viperboych]

I have a 2013 biturbo with dsg which hasnt used any oil noticeably in 5k. If i was to book in for a remap how long would you need the van ?

Hi, im in Australia. Looking at purchasing a 2011 multivan (132kw bi turbo, diesel 2.0lt) that has 225000km on the odo. Should i stay away from this particular model? The vw motors seem very hit and miss, im worried about buying a lemon that will cost me $$, your expert advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
