Squeeling turbo, don\'t drive it home!!!
TDI's don't like no oil. Tried to drive home, in the dark, with the turbo giving a little noise(no boost at all) going very slow 1800 rpm max, noticed smoke out of exhaust in city lights, slowed down and BAM oil light came on. Immedately shut off eng and coasted to stop. What do I tell the dealer? Should I put oil in the mtr and tell them it didn't come on and risk bottom end damage or leave it alone and have all of it fixed under warrenty. I have pwrtrain till feb 04! Lesson learned, squeel = oil seal in turbo /images/graemlins/confused.gif /images/graemlins/eek.gif /images/graemlins/frown.gif
