Pd170 brd mod options

[Louis Scott]

What are modification/tuning options on a brd? Ive so far done:
De cat
Dpf delete
Egr delete
Egr cooler delete

Anything else i can do to tidy up the bay or any upgrades to keep me busy? Had a few pd130 & 40’s & seemed way more options available, not sure on what intercooler to use etc, i have a set of 140 injectors spare, ive read using 140 injectors are better as you can change them for 120% etc

140 injectors use a different connector and loom. Not a straight swap.

Then no knowledge to a documented 12 year old problem !

What are signs of a faulty part?

 

[Gazwould]

You don't need signs and they are sudden and catastrophic loss of oil pump drive .

That's takes the turbo then engine .

The sign is , it's a BRD 77mm special that was designed to fail .

Maybe this should be a sticky? Will clear up most of the common questions asked on all the VAG forums (ive been through them all while doing my A4 BLB balancer unit/pump): I spent some time on ETKA a while ago trying to figure out why some 2.0PD oil pump drives fail and some don't. The BKD...

It doesn't depend on milage either, the hex key/aperture wears anytime from 70k on.
Mine was on 145k and wearing nicely. Caught it in time, but it's a ticking time bomb.
