What You Will Find on the TT Performance Blog
The TT Performance blog is where we write up the diagnostic and tuning topics that come up most often in the workshop — things like spotting the early signs of injector wear, understanding DPF and EGR issues before they turn into a bigger repair, and what to check before booking a dyno tune. Each blog post is written from real jobs we have worked on, not generic advice copied from elsewhere.
If you are researching how a modern diesel engine actually manages emissions, our blog posts on DPF and EGR systems are a good place to start, and it is worth understanding the basics of an EGR system before reading through our more vehicle-specific guides. New blog posts get added as we come across issues worth writing up, so it is worth checking back if your specific question is not covered yet.
How to Use This Blog Before You Book
A lot of the questions we get asked in person are already answered somewhere on the blog, so it is worth a quick search before you call or email if you want a head start on understanding your options. Topics like transmission stress signs in the D-MAX, MU-X and BT-50, or the difference between a diesel tune and mechanical upgrades, come up often enough that we have written dedicated posts covering the reasoning in more detail than we can go into over the phone.
That said, the blog is not a substitute for an actual diagnostic or a proper conversation about your vehicle — it is there to help you ask better questions and understand the reasoning behind our recommendations, not to replace them. If something you read raises more questions than it answers, that is exactly what our team is there for, and we would rather talk it through properly than have you guess based on a blog post alone.
We add to the blog whenever we come across a diagnostic or tuning question worth writing up properly, so the topics on offer will keep growing over time. If there is a particular issue you would like to see covered on the blog, feel free to ask when you get in touch — it may already be on our list.
