Hello, this comment is not related to this video, but i've watched your dsg conversion and i wanted to ask a thing or two. Do i need to code something when i'm done with the wiring and will vcds do the job? Thanks in advance!
@@dennisz623 no coding doesn’t work cause all the other modules aren’t designed for the dsg. I ended up swapping the ecu over to one from a gti and it fixed trans communication problems.
My only experience with this engine was that it leaked EVERYWHERE, Burned coolant, leaked oil from the waterpump, valve cover, and oil pan. It was grandpa driven and well maintained, at 80k miles. Truly it was hot garbage. (2013 Tiguan)
@@LiveRubii that sucks! I’ve had hit or miss problems with mine. Currently my motor in my car has 240k miles on it and still runs! Just had low compression in one cylinder, but that being said I beat the absolute hell out of it and it still runs!
@@prestofixit3518 yeah I honestly think the engine damage came from when VW put the thinner oil from the newer models in it and it burned over three quarts in a week. And then they denied that it could have happened because the tech wrote down the oil it’s supposed to have. But it wasn’t burning oil before hand 🤷♂️ in the end it would just cost too much because the engine was not the only problem. Those panoramic roofs WILL leak thanks to cheap bushing and lines.
@@prestofixit3518 although I don’t doubt you’ve gotten yours to 200k+ do to a coworker I knew having a Passat 2.5 at 236000 with zero issues or oil burning.
@@LiveRubiiyea the pano roofs leak like no body’s business! Also vw says 10k oil changes and that’s just wayyyy to much for these motors. I always do 3k and liqui molly flush every other change. I burn less than a quart every 3k miles.
@@LiveRubii2.5s last well over 300k especially the 5 speed stock or a 6 speed and boost and it'll eat is20 GTIs. Get a rabbit if you want a reliable boost able vehicle. Or a mk6 golf either way get the 5spd don't get the automatic

@@prestofixit3518 So the ecu needs to be from a car with a dsg box?
@@dennisz623 yes.
@@prestofixit3518surprised that worked
