I miss the 1.9tdi pre 2005
still got a VP110, and it just... goes. It just goes and thats it!
Nice in-depth analysis on the CFCA.good to see this coming to light and someone having the guts to put this on UA-cam.
Few years back I had a VW Assist patrol (RAC or AA I think) change one of them EGR assemblies on my Transporter at the side of the road. Took him nearly 3 hours. Watching this I’m glad I never kept the van.
Love these vlogs top lad iv followed darksidesince day1 admire the diesel love you guys have and admire your growth
My CFCA (2011 model year) was replaced with about 35.000 miles on the clock. Due to absurd oil usage because the cilinder walls had gone. After the whole block was replaced the turbo started acting up, and that turned out to be a vacuum line issue. Now, about 6 years later she still runs fine, though I don’t know if they replaced anything other than the block...
Was just going to look at a 2010 caravelle you just saved me a lot of money.Cheers
Interesting hearing your opinion I thought in early models the head bolts stretched too. How are the other high output 2.0 tdi engines?
Could be Nice with a “worst problems” series on the VAG engines a what could be done to avoid issues
it would be 10 hours long!
Bring it on boys 👍
Modern VW is shit from HELL!
@@DarksideDevelopments Hello. I want to buy vw amarok, i choose 2.0 tdi single turbo or biturbo?
Got a cfca sportline myself. Fortunately found out about the issues quickly and blanked the egr with a tafmet emulator. 2 years ownership later and 70000 total miles on the vehicle all is well.
They're a nice smooth engine when they work well.
I own one, 100k almost, has EGR blanked for 99k so it runs perfectly!
That’s good to hear, I’ve just installed the same unit on my van.
Fitted a tafmet egr emulator to my wife's 2.2 tid saab five or six years ago. Never been a problem, still working great.
Remember that combustion chamber temperatures can actually be higher without the exhaust gasses acting as a combustion suppressant.
Egr not just an emmisions thing.
@@chasevans7171 The factory EGR only operates at two times, initially assist in attaining operating temperatures (when more heats desirable) and later whenever at low loads to reduce NOX formation as a result of excess oxygen in hot exhaust gas. Unlike a petrol engine where EGR increases the total mass of the cylinder charge, diesels control the power by reducing fuel ratio (not of volume of mixture supplied as with most petrol cars). Hence the average cylinder temperature is already lowest when EGR cooler would be utilized, and situations you'd be concerned about heat (such as sustained high load) aren't impacted by the EGR delete. Instead the high load temperatures will be governed by the volume/temperature of input air, alongside the injector duty cycle (if its taking to long to put fuel in, you start to get thermal issues you wouldn't otherwise at that power level).
Just got my van back from Darkside, after watching this i was shitting myself the engine would have been junk. Thankfully they checked the compression and all good :) goes much better after the remap cheers guys
How many miles were on it
Great work . sharing the knowlage
Have you ever worked with 1.9 pd105 BKC engine. Is it strong like pd100 or pd130(i mean strong for simple remap). Does bkc have some standard engine problems? I hear that BKC is much better than BXE and BLS. Could you tell me cons of that engine please.
Hi need help diagnosing a smoke problem in a caravelle 180 bitid
When i drive for 10minutes smoke comes from under the bonnet when i open the bonnet it appear to be coming from behind the engine nere the mani fold.
Anyone know what it is thanks
So what about the 204hp one? I have been looking for a T6 Multivan. Maybe I should just get a V300 MB, needs to be reliable and I am OCD on the maintenance.
Very interest video, I know that engine PD were the best engine ever made on VAG till it till change to common rail too many issues! Had a VW Transporter T5 2.0TDI 84PS for rent van had issue with EGR light on the second day!
T5.1 ? Not t5, the pd engine
Still rocking the ALH TDI with a Vnt17 and bigger injectors
Got a spare in the barn too 👍😎👍
Ryan coming through with the sunday funday content as usual :) good lad!
Great video and mega useful. I bought one knowing it may have an issue. Had it tested, no issue showing. Changed the EGR to be on the safe side, 2 years later, valve 2 + 4 running on 25%. The damage was already done it just wasn't showing yet. Call to VW, luckily they conveniently sell a kit to fix the issue. Essentially resulted in a brand new engine plus anything else that has ever had exhaust gas or oil. Not cheap!
@Pswayder, Was that just your local VW dealer, same issue here and looking at options, what is "Not cheap! if i can ask? and what did you get for it ) thx
My local, trusted garage in Warwickshire, they got onto VW. The kit itself is around £6-7k (plus fitting) if i remember right which includes a new engine and all ancillaries - DPF, EGR, Re-con Turbo - literally everything that had touched oil or exhaust fumes. Doing it this way (and returning the old engine as VW instructed) means you get a 3 year warranty on the new block and bits. If you just change the block - no warranty. Change to a recon engine, that may have the issue, or a part in your existing engine may be a deadly sniper. I'm 12k in on the new engine - all good so far. My old EGR is now a desk tidy in my office. It's called 'The Bastard' @@smithygillson3040
Glorious vid cheers.
I’ll stick with my PD motor. Reliable and strong
I managed to put a rod through my block with my passat's 1.9 PD engine mate........so can be problematic.
They do work well!
@@buggerlugz6753 B6 Passat ?
Buggerlugz that happens if you abuse engines.
Buggerlugz then don’t buy a BKC or BXE if you won’t wanna be losing rods
The 1.9 he’s talking about is the one from that old A4 and Golf MK3
Glad i saw this video before I bought one of these, thanks for the heads up 👍👍
Did you buy a different van/engine
Hi, I bought a Ford Transit Custom and it’s great, really nice van to drive.
Hi Darkside, thanks for the shared knowledge on these engines.
Is there any 2.0tdi engine (block and head) that is compatible with the CFCA engine peripherals?
Thank you
There is no reason why you couldn't run other 2.0 TDI engines we even looked at fitting a CUAA
Nice vid. Thnx 4 sharing. What about removing egr and replace for normal watercooled oilfilter housing?
Yeah, we ended up doing that using this www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/oil-filter-housing-with-oil-cooler-for-vag-cr-diesel-engines.html
@@DarksideDevelopments and block off on the egr?
Very good and interesting all low emissions stuff is ruining cars.???
Blanking the egr would physically stop any coolant entering the intake. But do these coolers also risk coolant entering the engine oil?
What about the BiTdi CSHA (Amarok = other EGR cooler)?
My engine where broken of 180hp 2014 at 135000km
What is the problem
And i put now new engine what Can i do sell him or keep ????
PleAse advice me
Hi, I’ve had a 2011 T32 180 manual for about 7 years. I wasn’t aware of the issues when I bought it however it’s now done 170k and at the minute running okay. I love it and I would like to keep the van long term however to ensure reliability is it worth / cost effective replacing the engine or cut my losses and get rid? If it can be refurbished or replaced is this something you could do?
Drop us an email to sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk and one of the team will be able to advise you there
Just watched your video. Thanks for sharing. I'm in the process of possibly ordering supposedly one of the last transporter 6.1's tdi450 4motion vans and then convert into a camper. After researching the web I am now concerned about these engines. Are you getting issues with the later engines? Thanks.
That will either be a CXFA or CFHA engine which shouldn't have the same issues as CFCA's do so you should be good with them!
@@DarksideDevelopments Thank you very much for your response. Much appreciated.
Hey Darkside, are these issues fixed on the 2022 bi turbo Highline models?
Not 100% sure but we have some fairly new T6s with issues
Hi, nice hair lol and great videos. I'm from Ireland and new to your channel mainly because I'm looking at a van and VW T5 Transporter 2.5 TDI lwb brought me straight to you. I will be honest I don't have much faith in German cars i.e. 2000 Audi V6 (fuel pump), 05 2.5 TDI, BMW 525D (just about every known problem) 07Mini one 1.6 Conv (head gasket and seized solid gearbox), 07 Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI (dm cutch, gearbox), 02 Audi TT Quatro, 08 Mercedes C180 coupe 2.0 (camshaft sprockets, corrosion), every one of these cars scrapped at around 100k as they were uneconomical to fix.
All were very well maintained.
I have been offered the van I mentioned, it can be described as immaculate, inside cab, inside the rear, engine bay, underneath and not a dent or scratch on its silver paintwork and with 145k miles apparently the cams are driven by gear, it has not been tidied for sale but always kept that way. I know the guy who owns it well and he looked after it like a baby and is only selling as unfortunately he is at the end of life with terminal cancer. He is looking £7.5 k rightly trying to get as much as he can for his partner.
As you can imagine I am nervous regarding German vehicles, I cant expect you to say buy it and know problems can't be foreseen and obviously no reflection on your advice if it goes wrong. The bit of research I have done is many of these vans have over 200k without serious problems, nut there appears to be many horror stories.
My question is is the right van to buy espesially with this engine or could I be walking into another mony pit. Your opinion would be very valuable. Thanks.
If it's been well looked after and continues to be, then it shouldn't be horrendous. However, with most transporters, if things do go wrong, it can get very pricey
I replaced a 2.0 CR TDi in a 2015 Caravelle that threw ALL four con rods. I have never seen that before. I asked the customer, a coach operator if it had runaway. He said no, was only doing 50 mph following a coach. Was a DSG model.
never seen that either, maybe a dodgy re-con?
Please help me to find the machine number stamp location on the blockmachine area, for ourcontry registration.. Thanks Brother..
Greetings from a Yorkshire guy in Germany, you should look at the videos from redhead Zylinderkopf Technik here in Germany they specialise in the vw engines and do a oil cooler kit for the t6
They're expensive and throw parts that's it. They started UA-cam because they were about to go bankrupt
what do you do with the block / bore ? hone it or a rebore / larger pistons ?
usually they are too far gone for even the largest overbore!
EGR Blanking with DPF left in place? I notice you advise against this on your site but other people offer blanking+remap and leave DPF as it is.
Or fit Tafmet and DPF still in place any thoughts on this please?
We never turn EGR off with DPF in place
@@DarksideDevelopments Why is this?
The DPF won't regenerate without EGR
I will beg to differ on this... egr-only delete, force a dpf regen to bring up dash light, drive as required until light goes out... Does that not mean it works?
Thanks for this informative video, vw cost cutting for profit, Cheer's
Ive been hunting a decent vw transporter with a dsg box for ages and while there’s so many different engines and power outputs. i want to ask anyone’s opinion whats the best option of van to consider and should I avoid higher mileages.thank you
140 DSG is most likely good
I also want to buy a t5 with a dsg gearbox which you advise me to be a durable engine that has gone over 200000km. Same 140kw?
Thanks mate
What compression test tool do you recommend. The hole for the glow plug is so deep. Is there a deep hole compression test fitting you use?
We make our own!
@@DarksideDevelopments thank you for your reply.
@@DarksideDevelopments ive had a compression test done. The results are as follows, no1 is 385psi, no2 is 420psi, no3 is 400psi, no4 is 400psi. Would you say these results are good ?
Hi.. is this still an issue with the newer 2016 2.0L biturbo 204 BHP engine? Thanks
We are seeing them come in with similar egr issues but they don't appear to be as bad as the CFCA
Ive got a cfca transporter with this issue. Am I able to bolt my parts into a caac block and put that in?
There are some differences. If you drop us an email to sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk with reg/vin and we'll be able to give you some more advice on this swap
You should try do it on a smart car CDI, remove the back of the car, take out intercooler, inlet and all associated plastics through the back of the car, I have hands like shovel's also, absolute pig of a job to bypass it, car works fine now though.
In the vid it’s a suffix D which you say is ok but looks clogged up and causing smooth cylinders in the video, is that engine kaput in the video? Was just about to buy a 2015 180 BiTurbo but think am better swerving altogether
The engine was likely already dead when it was fitted
Does the CUAA 2.0 bitdi have the same problem? Thanks
Not that we know of.
Great video, but could you tell me if a 2lt tdi skoda kodiaq vrs 245bhp engine block is that the same block as the 2lt tdi 190bhp engine? Theres a kodiaq with a smashed sump the engine is destroyed, i assume so,was looking to buy an engine to replace the damaged one
Nothing is shared with the 240hp engine, it's all unique
So you could not replace the block with another 2lt bare engine and add all the ancillaries to it? So its a completely different 2lt engine?
The complete engine is entirely different
This is precisely what happened to my Caravelle 2012 CFCA engine. I had my engine repaired: major engine restoration - 4 new pistons, new EGR Cooler (D Suffix), 4 new con rods (used), 8 x new bearings, 4 new jets, head gasket, coolant, 5w30 C3 synthetic oil (£2000). It's been running great for 10,000 miles since. But now I have a low oil pressure warning. But it seems to be something of a red herring as no mechanical faults or noises can be found, oil level fine, temperature normal and the car is still running great. I get an intermittent alert for 5s at a time. It would seem to be wiring
I also get intermittent electric sliding door bouncing and a couple of rear circulation issues reported on VCDS. So it looks like some ageing to the electrical components is my next battlefield.... (if anyone can offer any tips I'd really welcome them).
I've had some other fun with it: New dual mass flywheel, oil cooler, seal rings, o/s engine mount, wet DSG clutch, DSG oil, Spigot bearing (that was missing)! New CV joint (inner and outer, driver's side) and rear wishbone. Oil sump check, rear n/s wheel bearing, new oil pump and shaft, cambelt change.
If you some help just drop us an email - sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk
I have the same problem with the oil lamp, only two seconds and gone. I dont know whats happend. you resolve the problem? Where is the place on that engine for the oil pressure switch? Thanks anyway
When did this engine go out of production? I’ve just bought a 2017 VW Crafter with the twin turbo 177 engine with 82,000 on the clock. The dpf lights just come on? Am I safe or is it possibly a problem like this?
Crafter is different but get it looked at ASAP
I HATE diesel oil, Gets everywhere, stains everything! I was considering a BiTdi Passat, I'm glad I didnt now. Nice one... Going down the audi V6Tdi route... Better gambling with that than one of these. The few passats I went to see just seemed to "perfect" for the price. Strangely enough, All in Bradford - Dealers. Naturally the first thing thats sensible is electronically delete the EGR, by the look of it somehow subltly blanking off the inlet to the manifold.
What do you charge for the exchange engine? And if I was to drive to you is the exchange something that can be done in 1 day?
Best to email, it can be 5k up to 10k+ if everything is dead! We usually have the vans a few days
Thanks for the video guys. Just been looking at a 62 plate 180 70k miles on the clock and has the 512 A EGR should I walk away? I used to be a mechanic by trade and the vehicle is very cheap trade deal drives and starts perfectly. Thanks guys.
Take the risk or ask to do a comp check first? Some run well but gobble oil
Thank you for the reply guys much appreciated.
Hey guys! What do you think about 8v bmm engine? Any common problems you guys face? And is there anything specific about their maintenance to keep in mind? Thank you for your time!
It's good, fit a larger turbo and some bigger injectors!
@@DarksideDevelopments yep, that is the plan, just want to make sure it is perfectly healthy before doing that!
would e simple egr delete with blanking plates remove the issue? And does this issue apply to the earliest 140 hp transporters?
Only 180s kill engines and you need to get it before it's failed
@@DarksideDevelopments ok, i have a customers car with all the symtoms mentioned in the video. Did a egr off but i didn't install blanking plates right away and still had the same issues. Installed blanking plates for the egr and car runs fine now, but feels like it's down on power so was thinking maybe he has a cracked egr cooler and water has worn the cylinder to a lower compression.
Can you delete egr completely in this engine or is that not possible or is there complications from doing so? My engine tuner says deleting egr on any VW stops dpf regen properly?
D Peaceman38 my tuner also said the same about deleting the egr on a n47 bmw, if you delete the egr your dpf will go to shit
Pedro Guerreiro I run a fleet of vehicles and the VW/Skoda diesels I have egr deleted mainly due to constant issues but I do an active regen on dpf as find spot levels high. They never fail mot as emissions are same with or without egr as all still have cat and dpf. Good blast up road prior to mot and good quality fuel.
We dont ever remove EGR alone.
Can't remove an egr and have an MOT so no.
What about the amarok 2.0 tdi 180 , got the same problem? Is it reliable ?
The EGR Cooler setup is different, so it doesn't have this oil issue, but the Turbo setup is the same
Hey! Nice vid! Btw, what s your opinion about 2.0 tdi DJGA engine? Thx in advance
Yeah, they are similar to CUNA/CUPA. They struggle a bit over 300bhp though. Got a blog here on tuning them! www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/Blog/mqb-platform-ea288-engine-tuning-184-cuna-cupa/
@@DarksideDevelopments how about oil consumption?
they use a lot normally!
@@DarksideDevelopments thx...i was thinking vag sorted out the oil consumption issue on these models
nope!
I’ve got a MAN tge with the 180 bi-turbo lump, I’m hoping it’s not the same as this 😬
Did you say which model and year this was? And mileage, we do need to know as there are a few types
It's the T5.1/T6 2.0 BiTdi 180 engine with the EGR cooler. All the others should be fine
Are they the same ones used in the old amarok 2.0 Bitdi
No, the amaroks didn't have this issue
I'm looking at buying one of these at the moment, I wonder if I can ask your advice?
You talk about changing the EGR cooling block before it does too much damage. Roughly how many miles would you say is too late?
Other than doing a compression test, are there any tell tales that can be easily seen when viewing one of these?
If the engine doesn't have one of those dodgy part numbers for the EGR cooler, it 'should' be ok?
Would you say just go for the standard 2TDI 150ps and avoid the BiTurbo 205ps all together?!
Thanks for the video!
There's not a set mileage on when it can occur, we've seen this happen at various times. From what we've dealt with, the single turbo model is more reliable. Just compromising on power
DD does the 150 suffer the same EGR cooler issues?
No.
If I want to buy a recent Transporter which will already have many miles, which engine (if any) will be the best bet ?
The new BiTDI (204) seems to be a lot better or the 2.0 TDI single turbo models. It depends on your budget really
Did the engine made a kinda turbo pipe leaking? Because i know someone who has one it has no smoke, seems to have pretty much all the power but at vw after months of trying what is that noise they told him that basically the engine is dead
Just request a compression test
You’ve said theEGR cooler valve has caused the problem with this engine,which has a D suffix but when you put up the bad and good part numbers the one ending in D is the good one,or have I got it wrong?
Eagle Eyed, We double checked the OE part number using the VIN, the vehicle left the factory with the A suffix part number. It looks like someone changed the EGR cooler previously on this van, maybe done on a recall however the damage had already been done.
Darkside Developments Thanks guys,love the videos 👍
I've got a 2016 180 with a D. How do I check against the VIN as per your comment to see if its legit or not? Thanks!
@@SimonLittler You should be able to check this with the dealer (Y)
The egr cooler failed on my '62 plate T5.1 about 2 years (~150k). I was gradually losing coolant but there was no visible signs of any leaks so after about 6 months I had the cooler replaced with a second hand, low mileage (~30k) one. Problem solved and the fuel economy increased too. That being said, the van has always been slow for supposedly 180bhp. I am paranoid though that the coolant has damaged the turbo seals or something. You just made me more paranoid because the second hand cooler that was fitted ends in 'C'. I am now seriously considering having a compression test done. Is it also worth just blanking the egr system?
Hi Tom, please email us with your reg. sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk
A compression test is fairly simple to carry out, it's worth doing if you want to know how healthy the engine is.
@@DarksideDevelopments can you advise 2.0 tdi t5 2012 what is good compression reading
Around 400 psi
Reyt then! Love it Ryan...
Was looking to buy a 4motion dsg what years should I avoid?
It's not really the year, it's the engine code that's the problem. CFCA's have the most issues. Other than that as long as they've been looked after, should be alright
I’ve got a vw crafter 2.5 5 cylinder diesel ‘ it’s always run well ‘ but it’s always been a bit smokey/ black ‘ would blocking off the egr help ?
Any suggestions please.
Thanks 🙏
John
If it smokes the DPF must already be gone?
Darkside Developments Thanks for the reply
But the dpf was replaced a year ago? So would blanking off the egr help in anyway ?
Thanks again.

@@peanut25john The EGR is not the problem I would think, with a DPF you should not see any smoke at all.

Should i take the bitdi passat with the 240hp? Or a regular 2.0 tdi and tune it?
If you are looking for that kind of power, imo you are better off with a maintained 3.0tdi...
2.0 consume less and is more reliable but with a map i dunno
Its a totally different engine, 5 years on they seem OK?
Can you replace the egr cooler with just ordinary oil cooler? Or does egr delete make all problems go away in this engine?
Yes this is possible however the EGR blanking will eliminate the issue.
@@DarksideDevelopments Thanks for the info! Is this problem in any other VW twinturbo engine? I have seen similar engines in Amarok but not with same letters.
@@Bulldozer93000 the EGR cooler is different, not 100% if that means it's trustworthy!
Is this the same engine as the bi tdi in the amarok?
Very similar, but they use a different Oil Cooler / EGR Valve
Does the 150 brake, and the bi turbo engines in the transporters also have this problem? Cheers lad
Totally different engines
Darkside Developments thought so! Cheers bud
Hey bru... what do you think of the pd100 engine?
The PD100 engine isn't strong like the PD130 / PD150 engines, it has the small journal crankshaft and rods we don't recommend more than 200 BHP on these!
Thanks for your reply.
Wonder if CFCA stands for "Compression F*****g Cooler Assembly"........???
If the cap fits
Oh fuck!! Haha I'm crying
Was it enough to just hone it, or did you need to bore it?
Scrap block!
PD for the win 👍
Is this the same engine that is in the 2.0 180 bi turbo that is in the old amaroks?
Yes but they don't have the same crappy EGR!

We had oil consumption problem in our transporter 180hp. changed motorblock and also with the newest d type egr cooler.

I know that they rebuilded the engine with the old turbo. If anyone knows something about this. Please let me know.
The turbo's leak a lot of oil so please check that first. but after than amount of use the engine could be gone again!!
@@DarksideDevelopments Okeey thank you=). So the D type egr is not rock solid ?
Do other biturbo vag cars have the same issues Passat etc
Not this specific problem
Great
So is it a good engine basically with just a poor egr design/poor maintenance issues.?
So should we avoid them??
If you close the egr asap with low mileage and add an additional oil cooler the last long
Yes.............
@@niko8638 Basically because with twin turbos, a fairly small engine bay and commercial type demands they are often abused with (long days with heavy loads, towing trailers or lead footed courier use in stop start traffic to name a few), temperatures do get pretty warm, especially with an auto and air conditioning all piling more thermal load into the same air path. Will depend on your climate and use case of course, but in general if your not keeping it totally stock, its worth at least considering.
Also unlike EGR delete, a external oil cooler doesn't normally have a large impact on what people think of as the "warmup" time of the engine, since its not a big change in either mass or total cooling present (even before thermostat opens), and the oil temps are only loosely coupled to the block/coolant (reaching an equilibrium that notably higher, but with average in sump remaining cooler than the block for a noticeable time after the engines coolant has reached operating temperature anyway). That said if your going crazy with the size you'll want to make sure you do a longer (or harder) drive once/twice a week to get the oil hot enough to drive moisture out, else add an external water separator (which is what most heavy diesel plant needs to do, as the "Italian tune up" of running it full tilt every now and again is both expensive in fuel/maintenance and frowned upon by occupational workplace safety regulators), but this isn't a change in usage for most van owners anyway (much less anybody who was worried about overheating oil to begin with). Hence for most people the real consideration for adding the cooler is the cost of parts/installation, since a ebay cheapo home job can be a liability, and as much as we all like watching the dark side boys work, they do still need to keep the lights on, so it isn't free.
Bloody hell: i was looking at purchasing a passat alltrack bi-turbo from Germany.
How is the single turbo 190 ps...same problem?
It's not the same engine at all.
Ryan P Yep, i have the 240ps remapped from new with 102k on it. Never misses a beat.
I have a 204 engine. Is it worth deleting egr ie do these engines suffer egr failure?
I would anyway if it were mine
Would you also gut the DPF and delete to?

?
You speak the truth... "low emission crap" 👍🏻👍🏻
You’d think that being a German made it would be quality definitely not. It reminds me of another problem vag had with the bkd heads cracking and the 1.9 pd bxe engine throwing rods the best Diesel engine vw made was the 1.9 pd130 and 150 it put me off vag for good parts are expensive as well I never heard of a cylinder head problem until I brought a golf awful bkd
Hey guys from Australia - I have a T6 2018 Transporter TD1400. I have fitted a Provent (Mann and Hummel) catch can - won't that help with this problem - I also had an ECU/TCU tune as I do a lot of beach and desert driving. Love to get your feedback [please.
Where does the pipe come from on the engine and go to after the catch can? On my Nissan it comes from the head and then goes into the pipe just before the turbos. I thought the catch Sm was suppose to keep the air clean for the turbos.
By the way after double checking I have the good 'D' numbers - can you confirm I will NOT have a problem.
Roger Preston as far as the VW owners are concerned the factory “D” EGR has no proven record that it works. It does have a Teflon coating on the fins that is suppose to help with the extreme corrosive and heat environment inside the EGR, but do you want to trust an expensive engine on assumptions? Considering this is the 4th version of the EGR. With VW giving no guarantees on your engine, why take the risk? Just blank it off and delete it. It’s the only piece of mind. Not sure if the Darkside version though.
I'd just delete it and forward any fines to VW
Is a dpf breaking up a symptom of this?
Possibly
I really starting to like ya videos buddy 👌 and that engine was a right mess
I have the BKD engine in my golf is that any good?
Pre 2007 heads like to crack and turbos are terrible..good with our hybrid killer!
Pretty good with "c" head. They dont usualy crack. Pretty strong too with good turbocharger. Simple engine, but higher consumption than later CR.
Are these engines the same as the 204s? Thakks
The later 204 are completely different, and as now, we have not found any major issues (other than emissions related crap)
@Darkside Developments maybe now something about audi a4 2.0 tdi cr170 CAHA 10 /// 08-12 ?
Email us for options!
What’s the 240bhp BiTdi engine like in the tiguan ? Thanks
Look for other CUAA engine videos! Good engines
@@DarksideDevelopments Yep thanks just watching the Passat video. Think I’ve made my mind up cheers fellas.
Good family thrasher
Does the 340 tdi suffer from same problem?
They should be okay, just the CFCA's and we're starting to see similar issues in the CXEB also
When is your shop open want a price on a 3 inch exhaust system straight piped on a pd130 Bora cheers
We never closed
Ryan P Hi what’s the average price on this it has pd150 turbo on the pd130 would like a fake cat on too cheers
@@josephtaylor3769 please email sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk
if you are going for a 2.0 tdi, never buy the pd ones and also try to get a 2010+ common rail one. they dont have the oil pump issues
My 2.5PD has done 325k miles, just doing injectors on it now, for the second time. Trust me, this is the best engine VW made
Believe I have the CJAA.. What’s your take on those?
Fuel pump issues but that's the American fuel causing it!
Ryan P Orher then that the engine’s are pretty good?
Cn anyone give me information regarding the 2.0 tdi BMT 150 engine? would this have the same problem?
Not as far as we are aware, the problem was with the CFCA engines other engine models didn't share this same problem EGR cooler.
@@DarksideDevelopments thank you for getting back to me! I am looking to buy a transporter with this engine. Again cheers again 👍
