Very cool.

EGR off, rather than EGR delete? Nice. Another software advantage I guess.

Will you DPF delete eventually? Does seem to expose a lovely deep V6/6 cylinder rumble on the 3.0 diesel Mercs/BMWs/Audis etc combined with a TBE.

Yes the EGR can be switched off on the Mercedes Diseasel.

No i won't be removing the DPF. With the MOT regs changing all the time and the current ones checking DPF's it's safer to just leave it on and saves me a few quid.

The engine actually sounds quite nice on WOT for a wood burner

Not your first TDI though is it? I forget now.

Makes sense - that's my concern too with DPF Del. The legality and insurance situation. Not sure if gutting the insides and leaving the box as it is leaves you any better off, in theory(?). The sound, performance and economy gains from doing it are mega tempting

6pot diesels generally sound very smooth. I'd pay good cash to have the 3.0 V6 245ps VAG engine in my A3

I had a PD140 Diseasel Octavia Estate for a while.

A 245PS Diseasel A3 would be interesting

I haven't. The real me is just being let loose for a change.

Went and got rid of a few seagull bombs and then took some pics after cleaning it the other day. I ran a quick detailer over it to get rid of a few rain marks and wipe marks from removing the seagull bombs.
