There’s a bit of sound if you’re outside and the car accelerates away from you. But it’s barely noticeable. And inside the car you can’t tell.

These things suck in the cold to start when it’s below -25. I have an AGM new battery and it still doesn’t like to start. I have a standard oil pan heater and a battery maintainer. So I plug both in and haven’t had an issue. I believe these Touaregs have a battery discharge issue in freezing temps. I’ve seen several of them have low batteries in the morning when they were full the night before. Only in freezing weather. So with the maintainer on and block heater, it always starts fine now. Coolant heater is a good idea too but pan heater was enough for me.

Thank you

Not the content creator, but if you haven’t done this, yet, don’t hesitate. It’s hardly louder in cabin and is very reasonable outside of the vehicle. The only time mine ‘rolls coal’ is when I’m on the expressway and I roll into it hard; otherwise it barely dumps any soot at all.

@ I’m wanting to do it but leave the cat in. Did you do the full delete?

@@adamboyes3156- Yessir. Full delete, full valley reseal, and injector reseal, plus a lot of general maintenance and cleanup.

Nothing at all. Only difference is no codes for the flaps being stuck when it’s freezing out.

Darkside developments from the UK

no reliability issues post-delete. I would always get random fault codes that would come on and go away, and a week later it would be something else that would come up and then go away after a day or so. Always emissions related so that’s the main reason why I did the delete.

Can you please clarify? You have installed an EGR cooler delete on your 3.0 TDI? But with no "tune"? Are you getting any error messages or CEL? Has drivability been affected, no limp mode or anything crazy?

@suntyphinhya2035 only curious as I'm looking to do the delete as well and wait until dpf delete to go with a tune.

The 2011-2012 TDI’s were CATA engines and the 2013+ were CNRB. Efficiency and power gains are noticeable for the new engine.

Just ECU. Will be doing trans tune to revert it pre-dieselgate eventually. A cayenne TCU will plug and play.

Hi Steve, sorry for the late reply. To do this all myself including parts from rawetek, Darkside and tuner from Malone, was about $2,500. You will need to tune, otherwise the car will be looking for all the components you just removed and it will go into limp mode. Malone tuning are from BC and they offer wicked support and do great tunes. My Touareg has a ton of power now, incredible mileage, and no smoke ever. Perfect tune.

Time removes the intake flap. There are no runners in the manifold.

Removing the restrictive emissions equipment results in increased reliability, power and fuel economy. Also some other things like the engine oil will last longer, turbo will last longer, etc. emissions are of course affected and my vehicle would fail an emissions test if we had one in my area, but Malone is a very clean tune with no smoke.

@@brandonfriesen5389did you find it to be much louder at idle than to stock or was it fairly negligible? I just sound wanna sound like a truck. I’m still toting children around.

Yes I was hesitant to remove the cooler but only did it for reliability sake. I wanted it out because I heard some owners had issues with them internally cracking and leaking coolant that would get sucked into the engine, and destroying the engine. This seems to be isolated to the earlier 3.0L TDI’s, but I didn’t want to chance it. My warmup times are not really affected in frigid weather. It’s heat retention that’s an ‘issue’. It will drop coolant temp very fast under low load or idling. City driving in -20 or colder, and you’ll never see 70 degrees Celsius coolant temp. With the aux heater, it makes no difference to me. It kicks off after 70 degrees, and kicks on below that. I’m surprised that the Q7 doesn’t have it. You may want to double check that, because I was always under the impression they had it like the touareg(and I believe, the cayenne). If in fact you don’t have it, and you’re not having any problems, I’d leave the cooler in. You will have a similar-to-stock warmup experience. The EGR cooler is always open for exhaust gas to enter it, so the coolant that goes inside is always heated by exhaust gas. So it will warmup quicker than mine does for sure. So if I were you, leave it in. You shouldn’t notice much of a warmup difference. Keep in mind as well, being deleted, these engines use very little fuel idling or at low speed when deleted and tuned. When idling on a stock 3.0L, you should notice around 0.9-1.1l/hour consumption. Deleted, mine uses 0.6l/hour. So that’s even LESS heat being generated.

Rawetek for the exhaust and Darkside developments for the EGR cooler delete hardware.

Would it be the same for 2013 touareg tdi?

@@sherryshumer5672 yes. Exact same engine code; cnrb.

So you kept the EGR cooler on your deletes? This is kind of along the way I was thinking, as my Q7 runs super cold in the cold winter months, even in factory form with all emissions working properly still. Do you mind sharing the exact set up you used for your deletes?

They do run cold in the winter for sure. I did DPF EGR and add blue delete from Malone Tuning. Used the Rawtek pipes. The EGR and add blue were deleted via the tune. Physically they are still in the car.

@@jackhickerson3022 I was looking at the rawtek/malone delete for the Touareg, like I had done to my Golf. If the EGR is left intact, does the tune just force it to stay closed all the time, so the exhaust gases just go directly from the manifold to the turbo?

@@cbenediccengi That is my understanding. I am not 100% on exactly where things go but the EGR is electronically deleted. Runs SO much better!!

No. It was lemon lawed years back.

I don’t have one but rear main seal failures are common on the 3.0tdi. Check to make sure it’s not the upper timing covers before you get that repaired. I had an upper timing cover leak and it was an easy job but the oil went down between the engine and transmission and it looked like a rear main seal leak.

@@brandonfriesen5389 you’ve done it with engine and transmission in place? I’m pretty sure my oil leak is from the cover on the passenger side

Later in the video I show the difference in mileage. Real world, it’s 5-6mpg better

Not much. Only when it’s idling and I’m At the back of the car.

Where did you get the pieces to remove the egr?

Nope. Very happy with how it is now. From what many people have said, unless you go big turbo, there is no point in doing the upgraded downpipe

@@brandonfriesen5389where did you get the kit to block off what is required in order to remove the EGR and the EGR cooler? Thanks

@@thomasfordham4498 this is the kit I bought: www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/egr-cooler-delete-kit-for-3-0-tdi-v6-vehicles.html

No got rid of it a few months after I posted this. Had other issues, tons of electrical issues. VW bought it back. I got a payout and got back into another R last year. Been a solid vehicle. This 2017 was definitely a lemon

@@brandonfriesen5389 right on, glad it worked out

Much respect for your comment my man👏

@Bry Zeer who said we did?

@Bry Zeer just keep your mouth shut if it don't know what your talking about.

@Bry Zeer I wont do anything about it, I physically can't on social media. You have brought this on yourself, making the appearance of a fool. Making accusations about behaviours that don't apply to the whole of the people group and of course some people think there car is a "rocket" that's just normal of them. If you keep this up you will just be looked down upon. At this point I'm just trying to help you out. I said I can't physically make you do something but I can persuade you. Now I'm not trying to be a mean guy but again you brought this on yourself. Don't have an ego for no reason. it doesn't help you in life.

@Bry Zeer I see you have turned off comments on some of your UA-cam videos. That tells me that you take into accountability of what people say and tell you. That also tells me that you don't agree with what people say on them either. Ironic...wouldn't you think?

Damn yours hit 143? I can get about 125 in my 00 jetta Vr6 with the 5speed, and I’m flat out 😩😢
