Awesome result, how did you remove the EGR? Buy a Darkside kit?

Yup got the EGR delete kit that leaves the ASV in place.

With the EGR cooler, other than the fact that it is now useless, are there any other advantages to removing it?

Weight? haha not much. But blocking off the exhaust manifold port could help with exhaust flow.

Lusting after one of these, Darkside must have just developed it -

Also I got a new BT OBD port dongle that can read all the value blocks from the ECU (same as VCDS). The author of the Torque android app just added support for it. I'm working on a ID/label file for it now so all the data is interpreted correctly. But yeah it works!

Hey Jared.

What's the name of the app and the dongle? Been thinking of doing this for a while now...

[jazd]

It's a wbh-BT4 adapter, $70 or so from Germany. App is Torque from the Android play store. I'll post you up the label file when I have it sorted

I replaced my G235 exhaust gas temperature sensor yesterday, the one before the turbo. It had been throwing an engine light and reading 1000 deg C.
It was fairly easy to get at from under the car, I think mainly because on the PD170 engine the turbo is mounted higher making it easier (others had said it was a bitch to get at).



Part number I looked up on ETKA and installed was 03L906088BS for those who might run into the same problem with the BMN engine. For some reason there was a 03L906088AN sensor installed in my car on which the probe part was slightly longer.

What's that pipe going up to the compressor side of the turbo? Oil feed for cooling?

[jazd]

I'm not sure. It went down to the sump from memory.

Who knows anything about DMFs? I've taken a video of the play in my DMF and also a friends car when I was replacing her starter motor. How much play is too much play? I suspect that mine (second part of vid) has far too much movement in it.

[benough]

Well then that's it, the oil to cool the turbo.

[gldgti]

not feed, drain.... for lubrication

The latest thing I have been working on is developing software to detect maps in my car's ECU dump. If you are interested check it out here - PPD Maps - ECU Map Detection Software
