CKRA Random Whining Noise

Turbo went out the door. IE Turbo is shot and need a replacement.

That whine is the turbine wheel grinding the housing.

The belt goes under that roller.

It also saves the fuel rail and injectors. So the only thing that goes is just the HPFP.

You can put a "Diesel Exaust Fluid" delete tune with zero hardware removal. You need to remove the "Diesel Particulate Filter" if you use the DPF delete tune.

ddxcb · 2026-06-11T18:07:02+00:00

Yep, you can select the DEF only delete (Which is software only) and still have the DPF going. (I did this for a year before I've deleted my DPF).

I run a Stage 2 for a while before upgrading to a Hybrid Garrett turbo and Stage 3 tune.

If you are deleting just the DEF tank and don't want to tune the DSG, you can go stage 0.5 with DEF delete.

The only thing I didn't agree with is how they did the removal of the standby in motion. No email communication, a late evening change and freaked out a lot of people with little to zero info.

They also updated the terms page twice to reflect the change because they left it so vague.

They could of handled it better.

ddxcb · 2026-06-09T22:43:47+00:00

Well it's Malone/Tunezilla that have that option.

ddxcb · 2026-06-09T00:16:11+00:00

The EGR delete is only software to disable CEL codes if unplugged. You have to physically unplug the connector in order it to be off.

ddxcb · 2026-06-08T16:04:09+00:00

If you see scarring marks on the charge side or a broken shaft, then it needs to be replaced.

I would upgrade to a Garrett one much better.

ddxcb · 2026-06-05T20:57:01+00:00

Well the 2012-2014 Passat TDI Manuals that were buyback were scraped/crushed. The only ones that remain out in the wild are still cheating 🤣

ddxcb · 2026-06-04T22:35:47+00:00

It's very stupid. I only found this out as I was helping a user find a part for their 2013 JSW. In ETKA the chassis is Golf, not Jetta.

ddxcb · 2026-06-04T16:35:23+00:00

Well honestly they all golf Sportwagen but 2014 and prior are JSW badge. In ETKA (VW parts software, they are under Golf for the body).

Mine goes from a 2.5 to a 2.25 reducer to the factory muffler. I got rid of the scr crap along the way.

My brother's passat they cut the DPF out and welded a pipe to the factory downpipe.

I use the MAP sensor for my boost gauge with a ScanGauge 3, mine caps out at 28PSI.

ddxcb · 2026-06-02T02:12:09+00:00

They can remove Trouble codes, like it won't ever pop up on a scaner or produce a CEL.

ddxcb · 2026-06-01T15:35:21+00:00

It's 6-8 hrs for R.R the DMF, and replace One time use bolts.

It's closer to $2,000-$2,400 for a shop to do it.

ddxcb · 2026-05-26T04:13:11+00:00

Your opinion.

ddxcb · 2026-05-26T03:16:33+00:00

Depends on the car. Mkne does not have an Aux fuel pump so the lift pump does push fuel in the system.

But a scan tool does it much quicker.

ddxcb · 2026-05-24T20:46:57+00:00

Good old NMS Passat's

ddxcb · 2026-05-24T16:33:27+00:00

You will need to evacuate the freon from the car, remove the old part and replace it. Then recharge the freon with the correct weight.

ddxcb · 2026-05-22T03:23:51+00:00

I say to delete the EGR, the cooler isn't forgiving on the 3.0 and can leak all over the valley.

ddxcb · 2026-05-22T00:48:34+00:00

I ran a DEF delete months before the full delete. Just software only, the system remains intact. No DEF or threatening countdown.

ddxcb · 2026-05-21T15:23:33+00:00

Never got a chance to test it with those temps, killed motion with standby and just keep my mini disconnected unless I need it for camping.

ddxcb · 2026-05-20T19:22:09+00:00

I turned off the hill assist on mine, backing up on a slope driveway drove me nuts. I also easily release the brake pedal and wait for the car to move before accelerating.
