I was hoping I wouldn't have to go down that route but thanks Cheshire Cat[emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi everyone. I own a 56 plate Altea Tdi FR. It has done 180,000 miles. (Original clutch!) Anyhow, I had the cambelt changed 300 miles ago, mainly because I was going on a long trip and wanted security. I had the whole kit put on plus oil and filter and water pump and thermostat. 20 miles into...

Hey Honestjoe, I want a ttowbar fitted to my Altea FR. Was yours a good job and where did you get it done?

Thanks for your opinions, that's made me feel loads better about the situation I'm in and reinforced my gut feelings. However, until I have proof one way or the other, it would not be fair of me to name the tuner. He has a very respected name in his specialised field and as I've said before...

Thanks MJ. The tuner does exactly what you suggested and outsources all his software. I had the injectors done under recall last year so it doesn't seem tom worrying for me but in principle, being £ 2000 out of pocket for it to not be the problem is a bit scary. Plus, I don't have £2000...

The guy says he has software he uses for tuning on his rolling road. No doubt he's got some that reason my ecu but he says it's throwing out no fault codes. His software producer says there is no fault with the remap but, as I questioned and was led to believe from the start, the car should...

Hi guys. I am aware that there is a lot of talk about DPF and EGR problems but I just want to ask if someone can give me a clear route to sorting my issues. I want to do all I can to sort my car out and quickly. I'm pretty fed up about it not running right. I have a 56 Altea FR TDI. I had...

Hi and thanks for replying. Light gone out one, after a little run. How does deleting the DPF affect the car and the engine management. I read that the car has a lot more smoke out of the exhaust. Also, do you need to re-map the car? Is there a load of work involved, apart from getting a...

Hey Guys. Had an issue with my Altea FR TDI recently where the DPF light came on and then stayed on. After 2 days the engine management light came on, putting the car into limp mode (300 rpm max), then the emissions light came on.:confused: Took the car into my local garage and they got...

Thanks for that. I'll pass the info on to my dad. It's good to know there's not just him with the problem. Thanks again. Bubble:)

Hi Guys. My dad has a 55 plate 1.9 tdi Stylance and is having an issue with hot starting. The car always starts well when cold but takes much longer when hot. It never fails to start but takes lots of churning to get it going. My dad tells me there is a judder when it does eventually start and...
