Re: 170 GT TDI keeps going into DPF Regen
maybe get a few additives to add to the fuel I believe Halfords do a dpf cleaner for 9.99 you may even have a blockage or possible airleak somewhere meaning the fuel isn't burning quite aswell as it should, thus leaving all the left over crap its not burnt on the dpf filter, hence it keeps going int...

Re: is wynns EGR cleaner worth a try?
used the wynns egr cleaner, well it all went well no banging In the engine as some people have said, this I assume is as long as you do short bursts less than 1 second, car seems to run a liitle smoother now and also pulls better in low gears it maybe my imagination but worth the 8 quid I paid for i...

is wynns EGR cleaner worth a try?
poor performance at low revs intermittant, hesitant intermittant, stalling now and then! rough ride unless I put my foot down then smooth as a baby, I believe the EGR is at fault so a mechanic says, is it worth trying to clean it ? firstly with wynns EGR cleaner, is it any good and most importantly ...

Re: 4 ticking sounds when turning ignition off ?

I am sure I can find egr ...

Re: Fitting Parking Sensors
looking at the site the sensors will work alongside RNS systems later than 2010, if you have an earlier model you may need an additional upgrade, I looked for myself and just for rear its £495, but all colour coded and done properly as id want it, so not to bad mate.
