Hi all.
I drove a vw Passat b6 with a diesel pd engine. There was a massive discussion over to how to drive these cars.
The general consensus was to drive up to 2.5k when cold then change and when warm change at 3k. There was no shift light either. They says this was to keep the turbo veins and injectors clear. Over my 40k driving I never had a engine issue (just the rest of the car that was the issue...)
Now my insignia 2014 2.0cdti ecoflex has a shift light just like my other halfs corsa. Of the top of my head it goes something like this
1st - close to 3k
2nd 2.5k
3rd 2k
4th 2k
5 - 1.8k
6 - final gear.
Is it best to follow the above or to ignore and go upto 2.5k on cold and 3k for hot?
Thanks for your guidance.
