Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Highly unlikely with the DPF in place, and without a lot of serious mods. The limit is going to be the turbo EGT's, and you have some pretty serious emission control to work with in the MK6 . To my knowledge no one has sucessfully removed the DPF from the MK6 as yet, some good work going on with Malone tuning in the USA, but still very experimental. As per the MK5, plenty of people *claim* they can remove the DPF, yet few actually have long term results that work.

      DPF removal wears a fine of 120k for an individual, and 250k for a corporation (business) involved in the process. this was recently checked out by some people contemplating the mod (that's QLD & NSW not sure on the other states).

      Pretty hefty price to pay for a few more KW's

          We have done mk6 DPF delete successfully as with all our MK5 DPF deletes all are long term successfully - I agree that only a few tuners can do the MK5 without problems returning although alot of the bigger companies advertise it.
          Whether our DPF mk6 delete will work on different specs around the world can only be answered if I know the engine / hp and ecu used.

            I knew there was a fine, but didn't realise it was THAT big. Geezuz!

            Having cut up a MKV DPF now, I can see a few areas of improvement flow wise that would help, but it would seem we are stuck with having a DPF of some sort in place. Bummer, but probably for the best, for even though I'd like to see just what IS possible, I continue to struggle with the thought of driving one of those belching soot diesels. The fine makes my mind up!

            Plan B....

              Yeah - that fine is a killer, apparently it was increased from 12k to 120k a few years back - nothing like a 1000% hike

                  Typical government...

                  I'm sure by the time the car arrives, it's tuned, has coilovers and a few other goodies on it, there will be more ways to get decent power gains.. At least I don't have to worry about shipping a DPF pipe from the UK now
