Ryansg 1st Gear October 8, 2018 Share October 8, 2018 Just completed my first servicing. Highlighted an issue with false positive on manouvre emergency braking when I was doing reverse parking. Sensors were tested to be fine. Hope it's because some stealthy cat was saved by the system. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yourboss 5th Gear October 9, 2018 Share October 9, 2018 Will this affect your warranty? I posed the same query to my SE when collecting the car. It seems that VW more concerned about engine and brake modification. So theoretically AID not covered if it is not functioning properly when I send car for servicing. In short, warranty not affected. But don't quote me. I didn't get the confirmation in black & white as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madrian Neutral Newbie October 14, 2018 Share October 14, 2018 Hi, I own a Passat B8 2.0TDI, how do I know when DPF is regenerating? Sometimes I see the motor is running in idle 1000RPM + the cooling fans are loudly blowing. Unforutnately there is no feedback on the instruments. Today I made a 80km run and on the end I realised that the motor is running on 1000RPM. It happened on the past week too, but then I drove in the town. How often it should be regenerate?

I'm guessing since I don't own a TDI. If the regeneration is activated by reaching a certain state, eg. temperature or pressure, maybe this corresponding sensor status can be monitored using OBD scanners.

Yourboss 5th Gear October 19, 2018 Share October 19, 2018 Let's hope so. I was under the impression that DQ200 gearbox issue has reduced drastically (one of the article mentioned 90% reduction) with the switch to mineral-based oil for gearbox. http://www.motortrader.com.my/news/volkswagen-dsg-issue-is-over-transformation-of-aftersales-services-underway/ http://www.mthrfknwin.com/vpcm-meets-with-customers-additional-two-years-dsg-warranty/ ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
