I love my 2 door Golf. But, I'm frustrated and ready to let VW take it back. Heres what happened. I left a store last fall. Where upon the car started flashing codes and lost all its power. My car is a 2012. I had the APR flash done previously. I took the car to a good local mechanic. His diagnostics couldn't read the codes. I took it to the local VW dealer. After a week and some hesitation they told me my turbo was bad. I didn't trust the way they told me. Something felt wrong. But, I bought the Kerma turbo. After a really tough swap, done by a diesel Mechanic with decades of experience, my car is still the same. The local VW dealers won't work with him. Almost no advice. The one tidbit he got was that there was one test they can run that tests total engine pressure. I have 2 questions. Is this car saveable? Does anyone have an idea whats going on? Is it possibly related to the APR flash? The 2nd question is this: If I take my car for the buyout, and its flashing codes-whats going to happen? Does anyone have any experience here? Thanks guys.
