170 remaps x weeks on. ............

[OLDOILER]

There were some chaps that had their Leon FR tdi's REMapped but had to return to std.
Believe one was Superchips and the other was in Scotland.
What progress/outcome with these remaps, cos most tuners are having problems with this DPF system

 

[m0rk]

I don't think they've got round keeping the DPF and mapping it

it clogs up & burns IIRC?

 

[chillcupra]

Can the dpf be removed at all?

 

[Nathanio]

Nope its coded into the ECU and removing it will cause limp

We're doing some testing on our 170 Passat at the moment, she'll be doing another 500miles today.
I've heard of a fair amount of standard cars having issues if they're only being used for short journeys, dealers are recommending doing longer runs at 60mph + to burn off and clear the filter.

This is what I have heard from other tuners too - what we the user need to know is how many short trips can we make before limp home mode comes on!! Your latter comment is interesting - can you really burn off soot, because there are sensors that records build up/back pressure etc. which implies that you cannot burn off.

No I don't think you can, although this is what 'dealers' are saying. I've heard of (but not seen) a fair amount of standard cars having problems with the CEL/limp, we've not had a problem with our car in either stock or performance mode... yet!
