Long story short, found an bought a 05 Passat tdi, 86K from a non VW dealership. After a short test drive, the first time I had ever driven a tdi, all systems seemed fine with only a airbag light on, which I can live with. Paid the place, and on the drive home, within a few miles of the dealership, you guessed it, the check engine light lit up. Well it was late and I had 200 miles ahead of me so we took it to the house, as it was driving fine.
I took it to the dealer here in Pensacola, and they told me codes P0741 and P3102 came up. I have since spent numerous hours reading about this not so rare code. I agreed to have the tranny flushed/service which did not yield any chunks of metal, though they said the fluid was dirty??? On the test drive their ace said it was shifting fine in all gears, though it was not going into overdrive. I drove home @78mph at 2700rpm, I did not know any different. They said that was not overdrive. I was also told the operating temp was some 30 degrees from where it was supposed to be, and they wanted to install a new thermostat. Is it possible for all of this to be tied together?? I have heard was sounds like water running through something in the dash, mainly during acceleration.
Am I getting the run around???
thanks in advance, Quint
