I got told a story just yesterday from a friend wife tried taking the car in for suddenly losing power. Caused by the dsg. They refused warranty saying the car had modified. All that the car had added from new was a baby seat. They took it to everyone they could without going to vcat.. Apparently got fixed but now they're chasing the bill. $8k for a replacement

+1 to there being more to this story.

There's always two sides. But I've seen the car and its definitely not modded, and they've had it since new so..

Reading the news article it seems like vw are doing any/everything to cover their asses. Which kind of make me believe my mate even more

But this is the news, which is almost always tainted

Parents Tiguan had oil leak, b4 even checking what was wrong they dropped a new DSG in it.

then found out it was a leaking head gasket.

SO seems that yeah they having much trouble with them so assume everything is caused by it.

guy in my team at work has a 180sx type x that's painted pearalescent purple with work meister TE35's, big turbo, huge intercooler and a forged SRDET20

it got dyno'd and made 285kw

BRO!

why anybody in this country would spend money on a golf when you can get a commodore for 1/4 of the price that will outperform it everywhere and rip skids is beyond me...

there is only one explanation,, top bloke hipsters....

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
