wondering about chip tuning for a 2L, can anyone direct me? Looked around on TDIClub, but all the tuners are messing with the mk3-mk4 crowd and can't really find anything regarding the 134hp diesel...

question for the masses though - TDI + Lemmiwinks anyone? is it doable? and parameters to abide by?

I know I want a drop, maybe some wheels in the distant future, and better efficiency... definitely a tint job and a euroswitch, the tiptronic has a weird 2nd gear slip that I don't really know how to diagnose...

help? and while you are coming up with ways to point me to, enjoy the pics

any help in this new realm would be greatly appeshiamated

Won't find a lot of stuff for the 2.0TDI but for the rest, you can do like I did and use some 1.8T parts.

Looking for the most comfortable lowering setup... any idea? neuspeed? koni? VW sport? bilstein? etc? that being said, the groupings are really towards the 1.8t and v6 Passats, what should a TDIer do in terms of spring selection?

Got KW Variant V1 and in LOVE with them. Now the car is tracking like it should

Rocketchip is there but for myself, I'm using Unitronic. Quite nice.

Vagcom should be first. After you find you trouble please take a look at this nice mod http://www.passatworld.com/for...16118
It does help on my car ( doesn't solve the known stumbling issue but helps )

You should also take a look at tdiclub.com. You will find LOTS of diesel freak there that will surely help you even if it's a 2.0L TDI

Anyways Enjoy

Manual transmission.

It is a crying shame that the TDI Passats were never available with manual transmissions in the US.

Hep! didn't received them in manual in Canada Too

Would have kill for one. Can you imagine 2.0L 4motion manual. huba huba!

Or Even better. 3.0L TDI DSG with 4motion

I recently came across this:

and a guy over in the TDIclub says it's gravy!... if that's the case, then it's gonna be a good christmas season for me!

Nice choice Now get yourself to passatworld.

If Passatworld is so wonderful ( when its not down ) why are you all here reading?

BTW PW is pretty flaky .. I still don't get notifications from there ..

well, in current talks about ECU upgrading with Adam at unitronic since he's the closest in area dealer and I know he's definitely good people I recently came across this: http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/Golf5.html and a guy over in the TDIclub says it's gravy!... if that's the case, then it's gonna be a good christmas season for me!

Yup! You will like it! They reflash it to stock at the dealer, but got it back again. The difference is there.

Way to contribute^^^^^ Thanks for making my point.

On Passatworld we do not have as many non-VW lurkers and adolescent MkIV owners.

I happen to be an X Passat owner and at 63 not an adolescent. And far from a lurker .... 7000+ posts here and 3500+ at PW.

My "X"

Now back to his thread.

Very nice! I would seriously consider trading my Jetta TDI for a Passat TDI wagon.

but anyway, in other news, for some reason I cannot access the central electric via VAGCOM to hopefully modify the window settings and do a keyless window rolldown... must it be a CAN? or can I use a regular VAG??

nah, that TDI jetta wagon is what I'd really love... get's better gas milage but anyway, in other news, for some reason I cannot access the central electric via VAGCOM to hopefully modify the window settings and do a keyless window rolldown... must it be a CAN? or can I use a regular VAG??

Keyless roll down cannot be set with the Vagom on a B5.5 if I remember correctly. You would need this

Do you have an aftermarket radio or such?

What's even worse is that in Europe you could of bought a TDi 4mo wagon with a 6 speed manual tranny.

1982 Alfa Romeo Spider - For Sale
1983 GTi
2004 W8 6MT variant

eh? - I can access the engine, central conv, abs, radio, etc... just can't get to elect conv. I heard in some cases you have to remove a fuse or something... but that's a mk4 rumor that was floating around...

the wifey might want something a little bigger and nicer looking, the wheels might be up for sale, but not sure... I get a lot of thumbs up on the stockies

I can't on mine... Tested it today just to be sure. But what do you want to modify?

It's damned sweet once you do it. And to think people used to by an Alientech controller to do this, when all you need to do is modify some values in the CCM.
