DPF Delete problems again!!!!!!!!

[WeeG]

Yeh it is lol but they are off during xmas and off at weekends. I could possibly get them later on, but i just think its a lot of hassle driving 110miles round trip if its a 2 min fix vag com can do. However i dont know if anything needs altered or its just a case of switching off a hiccup

 

[WeeG]

phoned up jbs and they said they had lights on on earlier software, but they think its a sensor out, with the extra gas flow.... said to get it checked on vag com

 

[WeeG]

jst realised my m8s away for the weekend does anyone have vagcom in ayrshire by anychance, would be very grateful

My sensor went straight away too. And NickP's I think. Not a great mod really if we keep having to replace the sensors due to increased gasflow!!!!

 

[WeeG]

AH ok Taipan, where did you get your sensor replaced and which one was it? Can you tell me also how much it is if thats ok? cheers ANd what sensor actually went on yours

 

[m0rk]

So what happens when the sensor fails again & again? Assuming that this increased airflow isn't a one off?

Are they dear?

 

[WeeG]

Thats what im trying to find out lol. They dont make any difference to the peformance, but i dunno how much they are

Got the car dpf deleted today and i dont know what to say.......... after having the angel map on at over 200 bhp and now this, it's unbelievable!!!! So different to drive, no traction with the wet slippy roads 1st 2nd or 3rd even high revs in 3rd!!!!!. 4th,5th and 6th..... i cannot see much touching this.. it is phenominal. Scary to drive. I have not opened her up fully but it's amazing great rotty roar off the exhaust as well. And no more flat spot!!!!!!! But one trouble has occured.... After stopping off at my friends house for 20mins then starting her back up the engine managment light is on. No adverse effects. But i'm wondering how to get rid of it any ideas dpf delete guys? Cheers. AMAZING!!!!!!

Glad you are really happy with the Custom-Code DPF-OFF. I believe that we have spoken to you about this not too long ago? As mentioned on the VERY early stages of testing and R&D there were several different tunes on the DPF equipped cars to eliminate all problems and lights that are expected with the DPF and regeneration. The light that is on will be caused by something else. The tuning does NOT delete ALL sensors; the ECU still uses the lambda and temp sensors (EGT) so if a fault shows with one of these units then it will throw up the light.

MMMMmmmmm...not the first time people have reported dash lights on after the DPF delete
This is definately making me think twice about having it done. As this is part of the reason to get it done, avoiding issues that is. The other being the gain in power

Do you know who? Coming up to 50 cars and over 30K mileage on the original test cars. We have not had any issues come up nor had a customer report a DPF fault or light coming on.

I was going to say - if you're seeing the EML - take it back & tell them to do it properly.

Hi M0rk, don't you think that what you are saying is somewhat unfair, as you don't know the cause? It would be like having your car remapped then a coil pack fails with you saying it is all down to the map, do it again properly?

If you have any questions please feel free to call or PM

There has been a few posts on here with people having dash lights come on within a couple of hundred miles of having it done.

My sensor went straight away too. And NickP's I think. Not a great mod really if we keep having to replace the sensors due to increased gasflow!!!!

Maybe coincidence, maybe not
I am just saying for myself that I would want more clarification before having it done

I havnt had mine done yet because im thinking along the same lines as you. They will just keep going and need replacing

 

[steveyg]

I had my dpf-delete by Custom Code and everythings is fantastic...no dash lights or anything have come up since!!

Well done Custom code!

As I had mentioned the lights that come on after will be down to a failing sensor. Sorry but I wish we could fix VW problems with sensors failing These are really common to fail in general, we have not noticed the sensors failing any sooner with the DPF removed and ECU tuned.

Please do feel free to call us to enquire and we will be more than happy to explain.

No De-DPF, sensors under warranty. Get software & pipe (not cheap) and you have to keep changing the sensors out of your pocket

And no. @ JBS - I don't think that it's acceptable that your 'modification' see's a punter with an EML so quickly. I think that returning it to the place that did it to check is sensible...

£28 ebay, or £46 from a dealer.... how often do you see them failing?

So ideally you need to invest in VCDS to happily determine that the sensor that's failed should be replaced.. is all this, and the pipe & the software worth the agro?

Eyes wide open guys, it's not all about 'riding the torque'

 

[WeeG]

Yeh it's a bit of a b***h ive pm'd a couple of guys with the same problem. My mate works at Kwick Fit and does a lot of work for me, he is a good guy, will his diagnostic bring up the failed sensor? And will replacing it hopefully help it not coming back again? My car only has 12k on a 58 plate so it does feel a bit of a big coincidence. I love the map though!!! It is amazing!!!! I just wish i had been told of the common problematic possibility's. £800 is a lot of money for me. And to have a sensor going straight away is dissapointing. I know JBS have not had this problem with there cars, but there are a couple of guys who have straight after on the forum. As said above will relacing this cure it, for the forseeable future or is it a weak point made weaker with the dpf?
THis is not a dig at CC. I can't speak highly enough of there mapping, and jerry form J.Gracie is a good guy. Is there anything CC can recomend to solve the problem and will this eventually create power loss or any other effects?

Seems very strange that the last 3 people I know that have had DPF delete done all had sensors go within a few miles!!!
Coincidence? I think not

Agreed, well said.
People are less likley to get it done if they think they are not gonna get any support

We would not offer no support this would be extremely unprofessional - By all means I would rather have the car in to make 100% sure its not anything that has not been done in the tuning, but from the almost 50 cars we have done non of the fault codes have been down to our modification. These have just been parts on the vehicle that have failed and as I said before, I would like to but cannot stop parts failing on cars.

I was going to say - if you're seeing the EML - take it back & tell them to do it properly.

This post just sounds like you are jumping to conclusions and looking for the first person to blame?

Could have been said differently, such as working together to find out what the problem is, resolving the problem and cause as needed.

I think that returning it to the place that did it to check is sensible...

Where as this I think is fair, if there is a problem by all means let us know (or any other agent) and I am sure us as well as other will strive to get the problem fixed/resolved.


As for the sensors, these get changed under warranty so frequently by dealers – they are common units to fail and the DPF Delete package does not make them fail any more frequently or less for that matter. These are just issues with the units.

If you need any assistance please do feel free to have a word with J Gracie, I am sure he will be more than happy to help.

4 (that I know of) out of almost 50 cars is a very low figure. We have done so much testing with the DPF removal.

Non of the tests we have done list that once the DPF Delete is installed it causes sensors to fail.

As mentioned in my previous post they are a common unit to fail.

Mike

EDIT: I also do recal 2 other cars that came in for the DPF Delete (with their warning lights on) and the fault was actually down to a sensor before we had done anything to the car, so we recommend to both customers to get the sensors changed under warranty before the DPF so there would be no extra charge for a new unit.

 

[m0rk]

Sorry, but if I was spending £800 (a massive portion of which is margin) I wouldn't expect to work with you to make sure the car was running correctly.

I'd expect it to work.

So are you saying that the De-DPF doesn't cause these sensors to fail any quicker?
