You can also take the black Parking brake box off of the caliper and rewind that plunger inside of there with a drill and I believe its a T25 or T30 Torx or equivalent size allen bit. Much easier doing it that way honestly. Took me like 20 minutes to do the whole job.
summarizing, all that have to be done is to pull the stock tune ecu file off to remove the tcm communication error code and then flash the stock tune ecu file back on the ecu to solve engine light issue. And as an option, you can reflash using a GTI tune ecu to have quicker shifts. Is that correct?
Yea you are right about the first part! You can flash a gti file on the computer and it will work just like a dsg car! No bucking and everything works good. Only problem being the tiguans never came with a dsg in the states. So when you flash a gti file the computer takes it fine, but all the other modules don’t like it cause they are all programmed for a Tiguan. So all the abs traction control stability control and epc lights are all on and won’t take the coding to shut them off. So still working on a solution.
Hi, nice work!! I trying to conclude a 09G to DQ500 swap, but my switch lever stuck at P with P light blinking. I connected the two can wire, a disconnected the pin 3 wire in the lever connector. Can you help me?
Thanks for sharing. It’s best not to apply power to the actuator like that, especially when it meets resistance like that, as there are belt drives and gear drives within the actuator that can be damaged. Best to remove the actuator and wind the brake by hand. This is of course in the absence of a scan tool, or diagnostic software which is ultimately best practice.
Got my swap up and running, however I cant find out where to put pin 7 on the DQ250 connector. It is the speed signal wire, do you remember where you connected it?
@@prestofixit3518 I am getting a code in VCDS under trans. P0726 RPM Signal from ECU. Assuming it’s because I don’t have anything connected there. Might be a little different as my vehicle is a 2015 Sportwagen but still had a 09G.
@@JacobCanale42 depending what dsg you got to replace it with most of them have the same wiring. It’s a can high and low wire, a switched and a constant 12v, a ground, Kline, and a shift interlock. That’s all I had to hook up for my transmission and it’s worked fine since.
I mean depends if you are already having problems and maintenance history on the vehicle. My car was neglected and behind on regular services. So not long after tuning it I had oil consumption problems and snapped a balance shaft. But if you are up to date on services you should be ok.
Wiring diagrames change for each dsg. Also different axels trans mounts. I know a dq500 7speed can be swapped and the dq250 6speed, that’s what I used and it’s been good!
Hey man I have a Tiguan aswell and I was wondering if you could help me out on where I can get my parts to have mine built like yours and also am wondering what kind of a project I would be getting myself into!
Hey man do you think this would help solve the issue of my VW Eos jerking during acceleration only from a complete stop? This has become sort of my last resort to fixing this problem
Great information should have done this ti my TDI's would have helped out lots and put less work on the injection pump to draw fuel from the tank as I run a twin tank system with used veg oil in the main tank.I can see the new unit has a side tube which must be to allow excess fuel to return into the tank so the lift pump doesnt put too much pressure on pipes especially a I run a non return system just loop fuel back into the injection pump.Thanks for the effort to make video.
@prestofixit to my understanding, ALH with the VE injection pumps do not use lift pumps, they use fuel senders. So you are replacing your fuel sender with a lift pump correct? Is there supposed to be an advantage to this? Thanks
I have 2013 CC, 2.0 TDI but I am afraid to do this. Is it very dangerous? I've heard bad stories. How does the adaptiation changed the behavior of the DSG.
hey! whats up? im from argentina im about to buy a 2010 Tiguan qith a brand new borgwarner k04, and its a manual, but it has 172k miles on it, im scared the engine blows up, any tips? thanks
@@prestofixit3518 thanks for the response! tomorrow i will be picking up the Tiguan, and yes! previous owner seems to care for the car, the oil was always changed and the used manol 20w60 or 10w60 i dont remembrer, and the timing chain is brand new, it was chamged 3000kms ago, when the turbo was installed, ghe guy told me i have 60k kms to go without any trouble, wish me luck!
@@miloterra9191 I definitely would stick to 5w40 Castrol. That’s what the engine was designed to run on! And oil changes every 3to5k miles. Waiting till 10k makes a ton of sludge
