The last few days my glow plug light started flashing and I lose all power. It only does it once in awhile but it finally threw a CEL. So I pull out the VCDS and find out it's a over boost condition. I just had my turbo replaced within 20k miles so I took it to the dealership hoping it would be covered under the extended TDI warranty. No luck. But I had them run the diagnostic always and had them look at an oil leak. Heres the results
-leaking from valve cover gasket $1300
-turbo wastegate diaphragm fault $1102
-coolant fan faulty $640
I'm not paying them to do that. Service writer claimed the valve cover gasket is pretty in depth to do. I'm having a hard time believing that. Has anyone ever done one before?
Also is the wastegate diaphragm referred to a vane actuator?
