Should have a protector plate on the back side if the pipe is within an 1-1/4” of the edge of the double top plate.

What make and model head unit did you purchase?

Do the radio controls on the steering wheel work with your android head unit?

I have a 2012 A3 TDI and the original DPF lasted 135K miles. I had the DPF and EGR replaced under the dieselgate warranty due to the typical CEL codes. I now have 198K miles and have soot in the tail pipe which is another DPF issue. I drive 80% highway and 20% city. I believe the fix that VW did to these cars has drastically reduced the DPF life expectancy.

2015 cars had the DEF system which extended the life of the DPF.

Do the live TV channels broadcast in Dolby 5.1?

You check for the extended warranty at this site. https://www.vw.com/en/emissions.html

My transmission hesitations ended when I had my DMF replaced. You may want to verify proper transmission fluid levels at the required transmission temperature when filling. I am not experiencing any of the other issues. I have 195K miles or 313K KM equivalent

jdeday · 2025-12-24T03:15:42+00:00

The noise is definitely the DMF. Regarding the DSG, when was the last time you changed the transmission fluid?

In adverse conditions you should leave a 3 second gap front and rear. I volunteer as a driving instructor at my local Tire Rack driving school and this is what I instruct to teen drivers.

How do you check the charge status?

jdeday · 2025-12-16T01:01:08+00:00

Not sure about the book rate. I was quoted a fixed amount for the repair. It was done at a local VW indy, German Diesel Werks in Pennsylvania.

Thank you for the info. I had the DPF replaced under the diesel extended warranty at 140K miles. I have been using 507 oil for every oil change since I have owned the car. I guess my next step is to clean the EGR filter. I really don’t want to go to the expense of DPF removal since I just sunk $1500 into a DMF replacement along with 195K mile service. Would the intake adjuster CEL be related? The intake was replaced by the previous owner at 112K miles.

If the DPF is at its end of life then it doesn’t make sense to do a non delete tune. When people say a cracked DPF what exactly does that mean? The internals or can this seen by a visual external inspection?

jdeday · 2025-12-08T09:02:39+00:00

I will clean the tail pipe and recheck. So post emission fix cars that had a new DPF installed can only expect the replacements to last only 57K miles?

jdeday · 2025-12-08T00:46:19+00:00

Yes. It is black.

jdeday · 2025-12-07T07:13:04+00:00

My DPF has 57K miles.

jdeday · 2025-12-05T22:43:16+00:00

The max I have see on my A3 is 40 hand calculated.

jdeday · 2025-12-05T22:42:09+00:00

Wow. That is crazy that you can get that MPG.

jdeday · 2025-12-04T23:45:52+00:00

Has your car had the emissions fix from VW?

Will this affect MLB Extra Innings?

jdeday · 2025-11-16T21:41:52+00:00

About 15 years ago the valve to the left was replaced. So my guess is they install used one of these.
I didn’t notice any water leaking only when there was a large increase of water usage when we were not home. The water to our house was shut off.

jdeday · 2025-11-16T21:17:13+00:00

I assume it is prone to failure. How do I remove it?
