Nope, the previous gen Amarok was VW's own EA 897 engine, whereas the new one has the Ford-Jaguar-Land Rover AJD / Lion V6.

Hope you're enjoying the Raptor! It'd be much higher on my list if I...

I know you know, but just a reminder that like the WK2 groups, the 'issue rate' among the wider owner population is likely to be a lot lower than that on the facebook groups and forums. Happy owners...

Re: the Amarok - the new one shares the platform and drivetrain with Ranger, so same engine. The previous generation's V6 was supposedly pretty decent, but was let down by a few other issues on the...

To be honest, I reckon it'd be best to take it to a DPF cleaning specialist and get them to give it an off car clean rather than having a crack yourself. Replacement DPFs aren't cheap, and neither...

The best option is swapping for the OEM head unit and USB reader that sits in the cubby from the later models with CarPlay/AA. At one time there were companies selling the kit for ~$2-3k, so not...

In the intercooler? If so, then yes they can get pretty chockers with oil in these - not uncommon to see oil weeping out of the rubbers along the intake system.

If you're keen to pull it off, it...

I had a pretty bad experience with the Zupps service team regarding a warranty issue back in 2013/4 - it was like pulling teeth. Sounds like nothing's changed.
