At last! A proper DPF delete.

[sh|tbmxrider]

This has been done on a PD170, yeah? What about CR170?

[GoLfMan]

hellll yehhh

really looking forward to hearing peoples response to the 'wild' tune then!!!

[benough]

They will probably be like. Done 5000km on it now. Need new tyres and clutch.

No think his drive is a std diesel?

[Gregski]

Nothing mentioned about the sound? Is it louder?

[sh|tbmxrider]

Ok, Cool, so can it be done on a CR170?

[ryder01]

In response to above questions-
No, Its not any louder.
Its not a standard TDI. Its a GT TDI (170) '08 model.

I have to admit that it was pretty quiet from the passenger seat. I wasn't sure what it was like std, so didn't want to mislead anyone.

Thanks for posting your thoughts earlier Ryan.

Guys I've had my second PM in as many weeks from people being told absolute RUBBISH from some of the "cheaper" overseas tuning companies. As far as I'm aware, at this stage, NO-ONE apart from Custom Code have a proven, bug free DPF delete tune. The ONLY recommendation I could currently give is to chat to Gav, but Custom Code make you buy the delete pipe from JBS so it's a pricey option even at Gav's VERY fair prices. He makes sweet FA on the parts in his defence.

More than one person on here has brought in a delete pipe outside Custom Code after being told by their tuner that "it would be OK." Nothing could be further from the truth. Turning off the regen cycle is TRICKY, and whilst I've indeed chatted to other people who said it can be done, and I don't disbelieve them, as yet ONLY Custom code have multiple proven runs on the board. That will change, I've no doubt.

Now this isn't a big push for custom code, it's just stating the current truth. I'm still running a DPF at this stage, as there are a few things to consider when doing such a highly illegal mod, and even I'm taking that into account. But if I was to go a delete tomorrow, the ONLY way I'd go is Custom Code, as painful as getting the JBS pipe from them can be, At least Gav makes it as painless as possible, and he's certainly a low pressure and very helpful guy.

There may be options of higher performance aftermarket DPF's in the future, rebuildable and a lot cheaper than OEM. I'm currently investigating same with some major companies overseas, but it's a mammoth task. Still, I can see the law cracking down on deletes eventually, and as a cyclist there's always part of me that really detests smokey diesels.

DON'T believe the rubbish other chip tuners out there are telling people currently.

Good luck to the oilers. Props to Gav for working on this, one of the best tuners to talk to, I've wasted much of his time asking too many questions and he has always been honest and professional.

I’m sure our stuff is fine and I know its used by a lot of people in Europe none of which has complained about it not working as promised. Well thats on the VAG stuff anyway some of the other brands do have issues. Peugeot owners in particular are reporting cases of it not working. Now what I don't know is if the regen cycle still takes place - it might, in fact I suspect it does as altering that would be very hard to discover and modify within the file. If i had a diesel for my own car you can be sure I'd know the answer. (looking at a Q7 for the family truckster atm even a Treg). The cars we did have not had any issues but then again at least one is stock I'd have to check with the guys on the other one but I'm almost certain its the same

So it comes down to if Superchips and Custom Code use the same software and therefore the same modification to the file as we do, My money is that both of them do but they may be reluctant to advertise it loudly - if you know what i mean "cough" big fine "cough". I like both of these guys to be honest so I'd be very surprised if either group couldn't deliver.
In the tuning world there are two dedicated commercial software packages that deal with this 'feature' plus theres also the ability to do it all yourself if you have the appropriate editing package. In the VAG stuff I haven’t heard of it not working when the file is modified by either of the two

If someone in Sydney wants to be a test mule I'll mod their file to delete a DPF for free. The mod process of the file takes about 4 seconds. Greg you thought about moving to the ghetto's of NSW :banana ?

TBH I believe that C-C wrote their own files for the DPF delete. They have all the stuff they need to do it and the flexibility it offers them, was the driving force in the creation of Custom-Code in the first place.

I am not aware of all that goes on behind the scenes in the UK. I signed up a couple of weeks before boarding the plane to Australia. So the identity of the person that cracked the code isn't known to me.

So at the moment Superchips cant flash the ECU properly for a DPF delete?

[h100vw]

This is one for Jimmy but what I have heard is they can turn the warning light off, which isn't the same as removing the regeneration process.

C-C spent a long time writing this software so I wouldn't expect it to come out elsewhere overnight. Superchips also work on practically every manufacturer on the planet, so spending time on what is really a pretty small market segment, might not be a big priority?

I am happy to be corrected on this Jimmy.
