Hi guys!
Today I went and bought myself a 2006 Jetta Tdi with 230,000.
I bought it knowing it had some belt ticking/chattering due to the accessory tensioner pulley being on its way out. The drive home was 45 miles.
I bought it at a small used car dealership in Seguin, TX. It is run by a married couple. The lady is the main salesperson and she basically runs the place. I’ve never met the husband.
I asked the seller, would it make it? She said, yes! So about ten miles from home it started running really rough but was not overheating or throwing codes or anything so I limped it home. I believe the turbo might have gone out but I am not sure. Can you guys help??????? Here are two videos of it running, let me know what you think!!!!!
Thanks!

I started doing some research and I think maybe it is a worn camshaft...... I still need some help! It sounds like it in this video:
