07eins Podcast #2 - TDI problems - solution: PDE
How the original PDE bridge from 07eins came about.
And why it became more than just a product: a solution for PDE TDI engines, a brand with technical aspirations and an inventive spirit that extends to the KRUG coffee cup.
Watch podcast #2 directly.
The beginning
Not every invention starts with a product idea.
Many drivers of a VW, Audi, Skoda or Seat TDI with a pump-injector system only notice small changes at first. The engine starts a little worse. It doesn't run quite cleanly. Perhaps the vehicle just doesn't feel the same as it used to.
In the podcast with Simon Schoßböck, Managing Director of 07eins and original inventor of the original PDE bridge, it becomes clear: this solution was not based on a theoretical simulation game, but on a real problem from practice.
This is exactly what makes the story of 07eins so special. It doesn't start with a random product, but with the attempt to really understand a technical problem - and to solve it permanently.
The problem
Many TDI drivers don't know the cause. Only the symptoms.
For laypeople, the PDE issue is often difficult to classify at first. Many only notice that the vehicle runs differently than usual. But behind these initial changes there may be a serious problem in the area of the pump-nozzle elements.
- Poorer cold start
- uneven engine running
- Loss of power
- Starting problems
- Diesel in the oil or oil build-up
- Expensive consequential damage in the long term
The actual problem often remains invisible for a long time - although wear, leaks and unfavorable movements can already develop in the engine.
The solution idea
Why the original PDE bridge was developed
In the podcast, it becomes clear that the original PDE bridge from 07eins was developed with the aim of not only combating symptoms, but also focusing on the technical cause.
If the problems in the real fastening and load situation of the pump-nozzle elements, a solution is needed that starts right there. This gave rise to the first PDE bridge, which was later developed further in several stages.
07eins is the original provider of this solution. Simon Schoßböck is considered its original inventor.
The original PDE bridge for VW T5 2.5 TDI engines was developed by 07eins in 2015 to repair damaged cylinder heads and prevent damage to the injector sealing seats (cylinder head damage) that could jeopardize their function. Successfully installed in over 10,000 vehicles. Installation without modification to the cylinder head and add-on parts.
Development
Test. Improve. Thinking ahead.
A particularly important point from the conversation is that the PDE bridge was not created in a single perfect version. The development was a process: initial ideas, prototypes, practical experience, adjustments to the design and material, renewed testing.
It is precisely this step-by-step development that makes the difference. For engines that are operated under real conditions in everyday life, a theoretical functional idea alone is not enough.
Practical development
The solution was not just developed at a desk, but in direct comparison with real engines, real damage and real everyday requirements.
Technically consistent
The decisive factors were durability, installation situation, tolerance compensation and the long-term effect in real operation.

Material & design
Not every rigid solution is automatically a good solution.
The loads in the engine, the real tolerances and the different initial states of the vehicles concerned place high demands on every component. This is precisely why the choice of material and design was so crucial.
Stable The solution must fix reliably and withstand the stresses of everyday engine use.
precise The design must be adapted to real tolerances and installation situations.
durable The aim was not short-term effect, but long-term suitability for everyday use.
Further development
From the PDE bridge to the PDE body holders
The podcast also makes it clear that 07eins did not leave the topic at a single solution. The first invention gradually evolved into a broader family of solutions.
The PDE body holders show that 07eins has taken the basic principle further and transferred it to other motor variants. This is not a coincidence, but a systematic approach to a solution.

Everyday use
Why this topic is relevant for private customers and families
Anyone who needs their vehicle for everyday use, is on the road with the family or drives longer distances needs one thing above all: reliability.
This is precisely why the PDE issue is not just something for garages or technical experts. Many problems develop gradually. If you understand the correlations early on, you can make better decisions and significantly reduce the risk of major consequential damage.
The strength of 07eins communication lies precisely here: remaining technically credible, but still explaining the topic in such a way that even people without prior knowledge can understand it.
The brand
A technical solution became a clear brand claim.
The podcast shows how the development of the PDE bridge has gradually evolved into a company with its own identity. Today, 07eins not only stands for a single product, but for the aspiration to tackle real problems with technically meaningful solutions.
This is not just about function, but also about Quality, development logic and product understanding. Products should be comprehensible, cleanly developed and permanently usable.
KRUG
Innovation not only in the automotive sector
The podcast also includes the part about the KRUG coffee cup is also discussed. And it is precisely this section that is important because it makes the inventive spirit behind 07eins even more visible.
The story shows that Simon Schoßböck 's creative and entrepreneurial aspirations do not end with automotive products. With KRUG, it becomes clear that the same idea of innovation also lives on in completely different product areas: rethinking something everyday, improving it functionally and turning it into an independent product.
During the conversation, it becomes clear that KRUG is not just a nice idea, but that development, testing, investment and genuine product aspirations are behind it. This is precisely why the KRUG coffee cup fits so well into the story of 07eins.

Sustainability
Using existing technology sensibly for longer
Another thought from the podcast is the question of sustainability. This is not about abstract buzzwords, but about a very practical approach: using existing vehicles and technology as sensibly as possible for longer instead of giving them up prematurely.
This is a particularly relevant point for older, but fundamentally valuable vehicles. If known weak points can be cleanly mitigated technically, this can help to conserve resources and keep existing vehicles reliable in everyday use for longer.
Conclusion
The original PDE bridge from 07eins is the result of real development work.
The podcast makes it very clear that the original PDE bridge from 07eins was not created by chance. It goes back to a real practical problem, was developed by Simon Schoßböck, optimized in several steps and later supplemented by other solutions such as the PDE body mounts.
For TDI drivers with no prior technical knowledge, the most important message is that the PDE problem is real, often invisible for a long time and more relevant in everyday life than many people think. For 07eins is the most important message: the brand stands for an original, practical and technically sound solution.
