No think his drive is a std diesel?

[Gregski]

Nothing mentioned about the sound? Is it louder?

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.
