EA288 2.0 TDI 184PS Development thread..

Yeh, its immediate alright. Literally turn on the ignition and it appears. I have tried locking the car, got back in then somehow it disappears, it seems infrequent. Had my first regen yesterday it what seemed like months!!!!!

If it's almost a definite that the light will happen on your car sat in the heat during first start-up, i'd remove the box and loom and see if you can replicate it as standard. If you can't then it has to be the loom or box.

A regen once every 4 weeks is pretty much all I get now. Regardless of DPF loading indications, according to VWs set-up, the car forces a regen every 800 miles. If your regens are as infrequent as that, it seems that 4+1 isn't overfuelling the car. I used to get a noticeable regen for about 40 miles every 250 miles before I had the box.

Let us know how you get on with your new box mate? Although there is nothing but good things said about them on here so I am sure you will love it

we took our DSG GTD to the dyno earlier this week, the figures below were produced using trevor on map 1 plus 1

My dad passed through our place overnight, on his way to a few weeks work in Aberdeen and i've given him a lend of my DTUK box so he can see if he wants it when I get my R. It took him 2 minutes to make his mind up, and left it on for him to have a few weeks with it.

My car feels like i'm driving through treacle again! I might let him just keep it as an early Christmas present so I appreciate the R more when it arrives and so i'm not slipping around when the cold weather really bites (first sample of the cold weather today: 7C at the coast where I live and 2.5C 12 miles further inland where I work) on my Bridgestones.

I would really like one of these boxes but am still a little worried, has anyone been running one of these boxes on a DSG GTD, any problems?

My dad has DSG and he’s running my box right now – I’ll let you know how he gets on with it. The biggest change I’ve seen on my car without the box now is the much slower initial pick-up on the power at stock, it’s more noticeable than being 60ps down overall.

Would be very interested in his opinion of how it drives now, especially MPG, kickdown and gear selection from the DSG.

Didn't Andrew at dtuk have a dsg at the minute?
