With this engines all owners should pay attention to what oil they use. VW admited that the low pressure turbocharger have some sort of design failure resulting in poor lubrication and cooling of the low press. turbocharger shaft. Another important thing on this types of engines, when you lose coolant, 95% of the time, EGR cooler gets damaged (internally) and exhaust gases mix with coolant. Most likely in this cases you think it's a cylinder gasket problem, since coolant gets out of reservoir with pressure. Other than that, bulletproof engines even with a nice tune. Don't worry about DSG's on this model, there weren't cases of damages as far as i know.
I own a BITDI DSG 4x4 CXEC. At certain times, such as when climbing a mountain pass, the temperature rises to 130ºC. Do you think it would be essential to install an oil cooler? I change the oil every 15,000 km.
Im paralysed. I was in an accident on my motor bike in 2016. I have a RS3 8V.1 MQB S-TRONIC EURO SPORTBACK CZNB with all the bolt ons 650hp. But my dayli is a t6 caravelle dsg 2.0tdi 150hp, what can be done to make this more like my personality. 🎉 🎉
Very interesting results. I’m running a 2019 transit custom 130hp, going to upgrade to 170 or 185hp soon hopefully. It would be interesting to see a tuning video on one of these. Sporty Transit van are definitely becoming more popular. Thanks for the video, Cheers Mark.
To many extras over old engines not to be, you can't add parts and expect more reliability. Metal parts are probably stronger due to increasing tech, but engine bays today and 20 years ago are like space shuttles
I have one of the last t5.1 114 hp bluemotion for 5-6 years now. Tuned to 175 hp its not superfast or have loads of torque but rides good for a van is good on fuel and cheap in insurance because its only a 114 on paper. Its been super reliable so far nothing wrong with it but only done 60 000 miles... Aparantley the gearbox isnt superstrong manual 5 speed thats why they did not give it loads of torque for reliability....
Hi, im in Australia. Looking at purchasing a 2011 multivan (132kw bi turbo, diesel 2.0lt) that has 225000km on the odo. Should i stay away from this particular model? The vw motors seem very hit and miss, im worried about buying a lemon that will cost me $$, your expert advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
@@DarksideDevelopments thanks for the quick reply and advice. I saw your other video with the egr numbers and will check as advised. If its got a bad number, i should still swap it over for a recommended egr unit as a preventative measure if the compression is still good right? (Sorry for the 10p questions - im not the most mechanically minded)
I have a 2018 204 hp model and have had both turbos replaced under warranty yet still sounds like wastegate is making noise when engine turned off and oil cap keeps getting full of mayonnaise which dealer says is normal. Have you found this normal?
they could do a bit better explanation than just saying it is normal. but yes it is like that on almost every single one of these. a little depending on how the car is used, if you just do short trips and such all the time it will have more of the mayonnaise, it is because condensation builds up in the oil filler pipe.
If you have the money go dmf for daily use its better confort driving it.. when you change dmf to smf some cars you noticed lot of rattle and noise and some dont.. depends on the car.. try knowing from people who changed.
Hey guys. Was wondering about your cup car. Did you ever get spare kits in? And by chance any for the mk6 4d. Have a 2 door kit but own a 4 door golf r.
Hey I'm getting close to buying my first car being the Volvo s60 D3 167hp 2L. have you guys tuned any D3,4,5 engines from Volvo? If so can you estimate how much power gain I would get if I got it tuned by you? Celtictuning seems to say 215hp which would be excellent, but I would rather get my car tuned by you guys. especially seeing some TDI builds on your channel.
T5 engines have intercooler behind front grill and engine code CFCA which is usually on a sticker on top of cambelt cover.T6 has intercooler on top of engine and obscures the injectors, the T6 bi-turbo also uses a twin piston fuel pump with 2 feed pipes to fuel rail.
Hi Sean, we do not sponsor any builds, if we did we would be inundated!! Please email your VIN to sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk with your budget/power goal.
I love the super cool intro with all the fancy transitions and sounds then panning over the the boss who says reet then. Love it 👏👏👏

Hi, what oil do you recommend?
Love my t5.1 bitdi, supercheap cuz everyone hates them, but if you fix the issues on them they are gr8 💪🤩
Best looking vans by a country mile😍 reminds me of the a team😏
Good video thanks can you do one on the 180 engine rebuild
These guys are diesel wizards it's scary 🤘🤘🤘

I think its not a bad idea but you are changing the oil often so should be OK!
I have a 2013 biturbo with dsg which hasnt used any oil noticeably in 5k. If i was to book in for a remap how long would you need the van ?
we can do it in a day easily!

Wish my RAC van went like that 😃
I have a 5.1 bi turbo 130,000 it's never missed a beat . Upping the bhp in any van is going to cause problems at somepoint.

so it is cheap on insurance because you are committing insurance fraud by not telling them it has been altered...hope you don't crash into someone!
Nice van 👌🏽
Hello Darkside Team, do you have a upgrade Turbo for the CXEB Engine?
Unfortunately not, we only do replacement or rebuilds at the moment
The guy in the office is really checking in ryan :D
isn't that the same guy who had the "sack-able offence" of interrupting a video last time?

Look at the EGR number first and see if you can get a handle on oil usage

If it's using oil swapping the valve won't help!
Whoops I thought the centre caps on those wheels said 'Welfare' hahaha
Excellent video.
Glad to hear a lbs/ft unit of torque too.
We're getting there, stamp out the ft/lbs.
Much love😘

Right then..
Reliable engines until the dual mass flywheel goes, happening to me atm 😂
Go smf

What bhp can the cfca 180 be remapped to please?
They never make 180hp stock so 200hp is as good as it usually gets from 165hp stock
Hey guys. Was wondering about your cup car. Did you ever get spare kits in? And by chance any for the mk6 4d. Have a 2 door kit but own a 4 door golf r.
We can order them in if required. Only got enough for us at the moment. The rears are for a 3dr
With mine - same configuration but 4x4 - more than 26mpg (less than 9l/100km) is not possible to achieve not matter how I drive the thing.
4x4 is much heavier!
180 bitdi .front drive dsg 2016 lwb
30mpg at 85-90 mph
36-39mpg at 75mph
98k miles average mpg is 35
Can you do a review of the new 204?
the newest are 199?
@@DarksideDevelopments there’s a new T6.1 204 now, maybe it’s not available in the UK I’m in Ireland
WOAH so the 199 restricted version is better then then 204 earlier uncorked?!
Yes, time will tell
How do you rate the older transporter sportline 2.5tdi 174 compared to the newer 2.0tdi engines?
when they are working perfectly they are a nicer drive but they do have issues!
Is it that 204hp version? What about the DSG gearbox is it good? I have T6 Edition 4motion 204hp TDI whit DSG.. Is it crap?
204 DSG seems OK

Not a lot

I have a 2010 scirocco 138hp so if I’m not mistaken it can be any of the (CFHC, CBEA, CBAB, CFFB, CBDB)

Well Ryan
quick for an aul van now 😇 😋
Is this the same engine like in the passat bitdi 240hp
The Passat engines are a little more unique than these
why volkswagen calls this engine TDI after all, it is no longer on PD it is on italian common rail patent, it should be called TDCI or not.
Its a Turbo Direct Injection
Brilliant, lb/ft,, love you for that, keep up the good work and videos
Big mistake 🤣.
Be prepared to have the egr flushed every weekly.
Frozen water in the cylinder over winter.
🤭
is this a detuned b8 Passat bitdi motor?
Nothing shared at all
@@ryanp6138 any dp avail yet for the CUAA? nobody seems to make one...

Hi Sean, we do not sponsor any builds, if we did we would be inundated!! Please email your VIN to sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk with your budget/power goal.
This is different engine then you get for example in passat ? I mean like internally
yes totally different
@@DarksideDevelopments Is it more reliable and tunable ? Thinking about getting one in passat :)
T5's bi-tdi are not sh1t, EGR is
Tuning is the worst thing you can do to those CXEB CXEC engines. They are already unreliable when being stock.
If you remove the emissions garbage, it will be more reliable
And service more than VW specify
In power ? Yes in reliability - No
I don't think they are established yet!
Medal please for first like and comment 😛
I'll send you... nothing, haha
