Thank you!

Car still performs the same, all this does is limit the carbon build up tremendously by not recirculating the exhaust fumes (dirty air) back with the clean air from the intake side. By having carbon build up in the intake portion the inner diameter of the intake gets smaller which then limits the air interning the engine bc the carbon just keeps on building up over the years

Thank you so much for your support, greatly appreciated

@@jstyle_designs no issues from the install. Still running strong. Reason you are getting a code is bc the EGR cooler has been removed from my understanding from your comment. There is no harm in removing/ tuning that out. All that the EGR does is recirculate the exhaust fumes (dirty air) back into the intake with clean air. And that's why there is so much carbon build up in the intake portion. And prior to doing the delete kit I had the Q7 tuned and it had the EGR deleted in software even tho I still had the physical EGR still installed. That's why when I removed the intake at first there wasn't too much carbon build up. Got the tune out around 31k miles and when I finally removed the tune I think I was around 70k miles, so for about 40k miles I had the EGR tuned out and had no issues. No issues at all on temps. Colder weather is around the corner here in Colorado but I don't believe there will be much difference from last year's cold weather.

@markb6s4 thanks for the input man ! I was more referring to the swirl flap or whatever the coolant thing is on top of the EGR but from your vid that was removed so I gather it's all smooth sailing ❤️ really appreciate the input man not a huge amount of knowledge here in aus for these!

@@jstyle_designs the solenoid will come out with the EGR which is actually vacuum lines. The vacuum lines will get removed and some will get plugged. Now I am no tuner, so I don't know if that vacuum lines will be the same with the EGR or if it's a different coding needed.

They are 18x8.5 et35

Glad you found this video helpful!

@jdogdiesel7242 I actually had no idea. This is the 1st time me hearing it

@@ericfeuerhelm2459 it's a good feeling have when the car has been down and it's up and running

That is strange. With that said it may be different since you are in Europe. But in reality I don't think it should be different since the oil we get is from Europe. What really matters is that it be the correct spec ATF.

As of right now and I may be wrong. The only way to shut off the EGR is through a tune. I do have VCDS but even that I don't believe it has that feature to turn on/off only bc it is emissions related. If that was a feature I think VCDS or other scan tools will then have to commercialize their produce for " off road use only" to avoid any lawsuits from who ever is in charge of the emission in the government branch. That why alot of tunes one would get for any car a big majority adverse it for (off road use only)

@@Slowcarfastbeans haha, that's how it usually goes

@@TeamAtterz totally agree 👍🏻 and if you accidently do drop a bolt down there it's easier to retrieve it 😅

@@SKLLY-gg1nf found it online for free. As for the link, unfortunately I don't remember or have it since this was a very long time ago I stumbled upon it. My guess would be I found it through the Audizine forums bc someone posted a link to it

@@shhs6127 the EGR and the dpf are 2 different "features" (I think that's the correct description.) but there both part of the exhaust system So the EGR resuculates the exhaust feums back into with the clean air coming from the air filter. And that's why there is so much carbon build up in the intake portion. By disabling the EGR, the exhaust feums ( dirty air) does not get resuculated and send now 100% to the exhaust tips and only clean air goes into the manifold which reduces the carbon build up significantly. The DPF has to do with another part of the exhaust but neither or effect each other. DpF uses the Deff that gets filled next to the fuel cap. All that does is ( chemistry stuff) Deff mixed with the exhaust comes out "cleaner' emissions... Hope that makes sense

@markb6s4 It doesn't make sense why cars engine is build with egr and dpf ?.. it just makes trouble for the engine ..

@@shhs6127 this solely my 100% opinion and I believe this is just all politics and money unfortunately. Not trying to bring up oh it's the left or the rights idea but at the end of the day they dictate these type of laws. Here in the US you will never see any new Diesel engines from VW/Audi group newer then 2015 bc of the diesel gate scandle. But In Europe they still make diesel engines and they are so profishant. I was in Spain for work a few months back and my rental car was an 2024 Audi a4 TDI, amazing engine. But bc of that scandle politicians said no more. And they add these emission stuff like you said that do more harm then do good to the engine. But this can easily go down a rabbit hole type of conversation 😅

@@Swim403 at the @1:45 min mark of the video I go through all of the parts I ordered for this delete kit

@ Thanks so much! I just bought a high mileage 2013 porsche cayenne diesel 3.0TDI and wanted to delete it and get rid of the codes. Any idea what engine oil I should use for snowy climates? Some people are saying Liqi Moly TopTec 4200 5w30 is good all around, but 0w30 is also an option. Thanks

@@Swim403 I live in Colorado, so we get winters and we also get hot days. And thats exactly the oil I use on my car the liquid moly top tec. I have not had any issues with that oil with my Q7 ownership

@@AndreSolomon-v6h I have the JHM v2 headers (catless), 2.5 in from headers with xpipe, and the mufflers are an Amazon brand the that has held up really good. It is the equivalent of the flow master super 10. The muffler guy has the FM super 10 at his shop and compared it to my Amazon brand and looked inside and he said it had the same welds as the FM. So pretty much I got the same thing but didn't pay extra for the FM name

If I am understanding your comment, you are referring to the EGR pipe that comes from the hot side of the turbo to the EGR cooler. So with that pipe it doesn't matter which side you remove first

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the 2007-2012 generations of TDIs

@@svann471 what I did to drain the ad blue was from the hose that connects to the dpf. Removed the hose that connects to the dpf and with a drain pan to collect what ever left I had in the tank. As for there being two tanks I am unaware of there being two

For the first and second comparisons of just the headlights, the car remained in the same exact spot. All I did was change the headlight bulbs. Didn’t move the car. When I did the headlight restoration, the car was not in the same spot because time had gone by, but I got it close to where I marked it on the floor and I didn’t record that part when doing the third comparison. Now… for your theory of the door size and distance makes no sense what you are talking about. If the car was farther away the door would not appear smaller, nor the other way around if the car was closer the door would not appear bigger. This all depends on where I am standing as I was recording. I will say I wasn’t standing in the same spot for all 3 comparisons but that doesn't affect the light output of the light because I am not the source of light, the headlights are. And they are at a fixed location. I may move closer or further to the door but the light output will remain the same. If somehow the laws of physics stopped working and your statement was true, then when I did the 3rd comparison @15:43 with the headlights restored, the door was smaller so that means the car was further away and the light output was still better when the door was bigger. Now cmon, were you serious?

@@Wanderer25 nice! Yes, that is very unfortunate. Don't know how much they check but would you be able to just do the tune with the deletes and just have the EGR as paper weight. This is how I was for few years only had the tune with EGR coded out

@markb6s4 The tdi system is fairly new to me. I didn't know the delete and just keeping the part there was an option. As for the downpipe and cat converter goes it's just like a gas motor? Is exhaust work in the plans for your Q7?

@@shawnradtke7506 that's why I make these videos to help out!

@@svann471 when I got my stage 2 tune. I selected the EGR delete and the other deleted stuff options. So for about few years the EGR cooler was just paper weight on the engine. And when I finally did this kit there was nothing I had to do.

@@markb6s4 Thanks for taking the time to reply. I just deleted my DPF and EGR (block off EGR with block plates). I am considering doing the EGR cooling delete next using the same kit from SUSTDI.

@@svann471 I recommend it and it gives you a good opportunity to also change out the gaskets if the oil cooler. From what I have seen and also experience the oil cooler with time does tend to fail and create a pile of oil / coolant in the valley area of the engine

@@SKLLY-gg1nf your very welcome. I'm glad these videos have been of help and that's my main reason for creating these videos

Happy to hear this is of help!

@@MilanDisljenkovic that is exactly what you need selected as you mentioned. Vacuum lines that are plugged had to do with the EGR cooler itself. Since that got removed, any wire harness to it doesn't send a signal to the EGR any more which means no CEL. Though there is still vacuum on the lines that are left, it's really not being used anymore And no issues at all

@@markb6s4 Thank you for the feedback Mark. Appreciate that. Was not sure how this will affect that coolant bypass valve since that is vacuum operated.

@@OverHereAndOverThere haha I don't know. It was a two day process.

@@trikte will do! Thank you

Yes you are correct. VCDS isn't needed and any scan tool to read temps works the same. If I could redo that portion of the video I would of mentioned that. And yes you are also correct on the filling portion, read your other comment. Thank you!

Thank you

Yes, and because the EGR is exhaust gas recirculation. So what's happening is the exhaust is being sent back into the pipe. And exhaust is HOT air. If the lines are plugged, removed, etc. The actuators inside the EGR cooler won't be functioning. So the cooling won't be happening and you'll be sending hot exhaust straight back into the manifold. Then which will defeat the purpose of the clean air going through the intercoolers. You may be at risk of melting some stuff in the long run. The intake pipe and manifold are plastic. Another solution is if you get the car tuned with the EGR stuff all coded out. And I did this for about 30,000 miles til I finally removed the EGR cooler. With that coded out I didn't get any CEL. So it shuts off the EGR valve so that no exhaust is being recerculated. And that why in the video part when it was time to clean I didn't have a lot of carbon build up. Hope this is information is of help 😊

@@markb6s4Thanks! Vacuum line is still connected, just has a high pitch noise coming from that EGR actuator valve. Car drives fine, just not sure if its actually doing the job or what…

​​@@chelo9724 The cheapest route is to get it tuned with the deletes coded in. Once it's coded the EGR just becomes paper wait until it's removed. And I had it as paper weight for 30,000 miles

@@markb6s4 who does that? Malone?

@@FalconCinevision just to confirm. You are looking for an automatic harness, correct?

So I didn't notice any problems with drivability. My main concern was for any debre or a rock to some how just perfectly get through the torn boot and do some damage to the cv joints. To be completely honest I didn't notice any difference changing out the rear diff oil. I just new it had to be done since Im 100% sure it wasn't done with the 1st owner when they had it. I have all the records of what was done but diff and transmission oil was not on the list

@@SKLLY-gg1nf that is correct yes

@@markb6s4 sorry I’m asking so much, I got the bottom 4 transmission bolts out. Does the intake have to come off to access the top 2 transmission bolts? And what’s the strategy on reaching the bolts on the side and with the starter?

​@@SKLLY-gg1nf Sorry for the late reply. Just now seeing this. No, the intake manifold does not need to be removed. But all the sensors that are connected on the top rear part of the engine does help to give you more clearance in reaching the top bolts.

​@@SKLLY-gg1nfand for the starter. If my memory serves me right. The bottoms bolt will remain in place bc of the passenger front axle. If you try to remove that bolt it will bump up against the axle. And for the top bolts of the starter that has enough clearance to be removed

Sure thing. Your the 1st person to comment about the time. Good to know it was if value to add

I'm far into this rabbit hole to turn back 😅. This is my forever car!

probabily crank sensor

Also would start with the crank sensor too. Crank sensor is located on the tranmission bell on the driver side. In the 2 oclock position when looking towards the front of the car. The connection is by where all the connection on the driver side on the secondary wall by the expansion tank is

@markb6s4 ill give it a look. any indicator to look for in terms of it being bad/need changing ?

@@L.da.don345 not really, can be with time the sensor going out
