You mean the nut facing up that connects the bracket to the mount?
If so, you may wish to blow off some of the sand that accumulates there.
Mine was easy. I had used a few long socket extensions to bring my wrench above the engine.

Four torx bolts in total. One is in the hole. The bracket is curved back, so your bolts are more forward towards the front of the car compared to the bracket. Two up, two down.

Sorry, I have no USB cable at work, but this is from my camera screen. You can see where the socket extension is. And another is holding the DPF.

Anybody know where to source a good kit with both male and female torx bits that I will need?

I was in Harbor Freight the other day and they had a kit with 1/4 and 3/8 drive male torx bits, but no female bits.

I have some Wiha T-handle torx drivers that I really like, but t27 is the biggest I have and I figure they won't fit where I need them to anyway. I got them for working on my chainsaws.

Titan makes good torx bits. After going through a couple sets of cheap torx, a nicer set of torx is well worth it. Amazon always has a good tool selection

I got mine from NAPA

forumname status

yozh done, no problems
xboxgod done, had to top off urea, good now?
iaknown done, doing exhaust, no report of how it runs unless i missed
335dlci done, running okay?
2deer only got tune, used his pipe, got dyno numbers, 325 hp with Ecotune only
BB_cuda done, running fine
nuclearbeef rec'd pipe, waiting on car from dealer before install, DDE at Redline
highrollin ??
335psi done, running fine

EDIT: I can get the columns to align. It looks fine in input box but comes out screwy here. Fix if you're inclined.

Sorry. Been busy with another crazy project. Still waiting on meth install. Mechanic is a little weary as he has never done a diesel before and I have a Snow Performance TDI kit. He is not sure where to put the EGT sensor thing. Anyway, I still have SES light because I haven't had time to take the engine cover off to look and see if one of the top sensors is loose. I did see and improvement in gas mileage over the last tank by 4.1mpg combined. Not too shabby. The car feels like it responds better to the gas pedal for sure. Still waiting to see if the urea light will come back on. JR is contacting Ecotune about it to make sure it will be fine. I did hear something making noise from that area one day when I came home. Not a big fan of that. Haha.

Your snow TDI kit came with the EGT sensor?

Sorry. Let me correct my statement. He can't figure out where the EGT "probe" from the controller connects to.

The controller uses Exhaust Gas Temperature to control the water/methanol injection?

[highrollindreamz]

got the pipe in and all.getting a ses light.anybody elae getting one.i did remove my egr valve and cooler so got three plugs that arent connected but was told wouldnt matter via rsw.car runs fine but curious on the ses light.

I believe you do need those items plugged in and the maps are just set to not use them.

It's unused. You can optionally fit a K type thermocouple into the exhaust stream and it will read/display the data. The snow controller only factors EGT in "Tow" mode which isn't relevant for our cars. We [and the TDI] only run MPG mode.

I ran that wire to just outside the DDE box and capped both ends. If I go the DPF delete route then I will probably tap+install a probe just to see.

Awesome. You know waaaaaay more about this than me. Haha

Not sure. It's in the install instructions. That's all I know. Lol

I would use it now, "tow" for them means "race" for us
It would just inject more based on higher exhaust temps under extreme load, using it would be bennificial even before dpf delete

[gtp900]

Has anyone done dyno's before and after delete? I would also like to see before with meth, and after with and without meth...

Hmm.. Wouldn't using it during a regen basically prolong/interrupt the cycle?

Yes, one would need to monitor this. It's easy to do with bmwhat, or torque app's
