Hi,
My 2002 TDI started sounding like a large truck on the freeway. I immediately started coasting and got off the freeway at the next exit (about 5 minutes with minimal load on the engine) before I could turn it off. Had it towed to the place where I purchased it and they diagnosed a bad tensioner part (they had just done the 80K replacement of TB, Tensioner, and water pump). They replaced the part and it runs fine now. Question for the group is can something like this cause a long term problem or if the engine runs now am I ok.
Thanks,
ski
