I hate to break my own rule about posting discussions in here but.....
The short story is my turbo crapped out. While limping it to a dealership approx. 13-18 miles with only 50% power. About 1 mile out I lose almost all power and smoke starts to billow out the tail pipe.
It looked black (dark grey) from inside, but my wife and kids (who were following behind) said it was more like a dark grey/white.
So.. dealer replaces the turbo and tells me they were able to "burn out" the oil and the smoke went away. What damage, if any, to the DPF and exhaust sensors? Since the oil is designed to capture soot and other impurities, all that junk went into the exhaust system and DPF. The dealer is still finishing up some other work I asked them to do. When I pick up the car I will immediately run VAGCOM and check the DPF values.
Your thoughts? Been very busy lately and tied up with a "broken 2009 Jetta". I'll update all of your new posts tonight. Thanks again for supporting this thread and sharing your data!
