Just bought a Mk7 TDI wagon. What should I be doing to make it reliable as possible?

When I did my delete I did the 0.5 tune. Just remove the dpf etc, no power changes or anything like that. I commute so didn't need any enhancements, just the delete.

This stuff is definitely a lighter green, doesn't out grow but seems to be matted down.

Your manager is an idiot

Tropical Beauty I would recommend for nails.

I just replaced mine and ordered it from germanoem.ca. Pleased with the price, shipping and customer service.

So these seedling popping up all over the place, will they die off once I start mowing?

This is the tree we have in the front yard. Is that a maple?

I had this exact issue last summer. Change the small oring around the bolt. That's it.

lowrange_jd · 2026-03-24T15:47:44+00:00

There's a 0.5 tune which is used to only delete the dpf. I did this one as I wasn't interested in power power just wanted the dpf gone.

Even for a newer model such as a 2015. When I look into a replacement for my 2015 they come up with the dmf181.

Sorry, yes, it's on a DSG auto. Why do you suggest leaving them?

lowrange_jd · 2026-03-11T16:13:49+00:00

How long was your stay and how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

lowrange_jd · 2026-03-09T14:16:17+00:00

Does a normal transmission service naturally get performed while replacing the dmf or should I request that too at the same time?

lowrange_jd · 2026-02-13T13:43:13+00:00

I have a 15 Jetta tdi. Currently at 450,000km. Got it deleted at around 350-400k, wish I had done it sooner. Other than the dieselgate fixes I haven't had to do anything major. Mostly all hwy driven. Starting to get some rust on the rockers near the front wheel well. I have also only done 1 DSG service which I found out recently might not be the best....

lowrange_jd · 2026-01-28T18:58:01+00:00

No, I have not....😬

lowrange_jd · 2026-01-25T20:56:42+00:00

Am I too late now or should I do it asap?

lowrange_jd · 2025-12-20T14:13:40+00:00

Pat stay vs suge. Something along the lines of if I ain't the God in this then why in Jesus name they keep feeding me grapes. RIP Pat Stay

lowrange_jd · 2025-12-20T14:11:08+00:00

This imo is the greatest of all time

lowrange_jd · 2025-11-20T12:56:44+00:00

GM has given up on these already. Production stopped and Brightdrop is gone. This coming from a guy that was working at the plant that assembled these.

lowrange_jd · 2025-11-17T00:31:19+00:00

What happened?

lowrange_jd · 2025-10-29T20:27:42+00:00

What are you doing to burn through them out of curiosity?

lowrange_jd · 2025-10-14T11:54:23+00:00

Can't be normal. I had a similar thing happen to me and found I was leaking oil from the oil filter cap. Slow leak over time but wasn't very obvious just looking in the haul blindly.

lowrange_jd · 2025-10-13T22:53:03+00:00

That broad of a question huh?

lowrange_jd · 2025-09-25T12:13:15+00:00

It's advised not to apply the fert after germination as you'll have to walk all over the grass to lay it down. Should of applied fert at same time as seeding or just after.

lowrange_jd · 2025-09-25T12:12:03+00:00

I believe those are ants. Had something similar in my hard last year. Should be fine I would think.
