Other than my wife thinking I'm a total tool while she was driving, it was interesting to watch some parameters while shuffling off to another state for Thanksgiving. I did miss the regen event though. The thread on exhaust removal got me to thinking, there are a lot of sensors you would have to emulate. Pre and post dpf, differential pressure, soot load, etc. You can almost watch the soot load climb. When you hit a hill on the highway,...

BRM Cam Failure First I've seen of the BRMs having valve train issues. The car in question is an '06 w/ 100K miles; Castrol TXT and SLX its whole life w/ 10K mile OCI. The worst of the wear is on the #3 exhaust lobe. All other lobes are worn as well, though not to the degree #3E is. They all have a distinct edge on the trailing face of the lobe.

same thing happened to me. It looked fairly complicated to take apart as well since its wrapped in that odd tape along with other hoses and wires. Dealer wanted $18 just for the broken part, so I went to autozone and bought $2.00 piece of hose and just connected the broken pieces together with some glue to keep it from leaking. Works perfectly.

The raised idle is normally indicative of two things: cold-start or regen. Oh and FYI, if your TDI normally idles at 8000 RPM, you're in trouble It's funny you mention a lumpy idle because I just mentioned this to my dealer yesterday. On two occasions I have noted a very lumpy idle that actually causes the car to shake, akin to what you might experience in a "hot rod" with a wild cam. It ...

Nope & wow...! Are you sure that you got the bottom stick/seal all the way in the whole when you put that filter in? It looks like when you tightened the cap down it crushed the filter some because it was not and could not got as far down as it should normally...? Or maybe the pic just looks like that? Can you put it side to side with another new filter for comparison?

My 06 TDI now has 57K miles on it. After the first 30-35K miles, the rear pads wore down to the metal and ruined the rotors. Dealer installed new rotors and rear pads and told me the fronts still had plenty of life left in them. By the way this was TOTALLY my fault and not covered under warranty for a brand new car!! Note that from day one, the brake dust in the rear was always way heavier than...
