Oh yes

To close the loop on this of anyone is interested, yes this was indeed my turbo failing. It was oil starved. So I've replaced with a new one, cleaned out and much as I could. Changed the oil, drive about 500 miles, and I'm getting ready to do a Liqimoly engine clean.

I didn't see that, I've never heard that before

Also, did you look on the trusted mechanics post/page here for your area? That would be a great place to start to find a specialist that isn't going to rip you off

Quote was for the dual mass. In the end I got the single, because I've seen loads about how quickly the dual wear out, and I was only around 116k when I had to get it all done. I've been driving a manual since 1990, and I can tell you there isn't really a noticable difference between the two...

I think I initially got quoted $1,900 to replace the clutch and flywheel, but that was from a VW shop, not a dealership. $4k is a crazy price, you could almost replace the entire transmission and clutch and flywheel for that price

I would only think about doing it yourself if you're broke. I did mine (because I'm broke) and it sucks terribly. Took hours, had to have my neighbour fabricate me a tool to fit, just overall sucked. But $90 in parts and coolant versus a nearly $1,200 quote was a no brainer for me. But you do...

I just got the driver's side done. The passenger side is still "fine", but if this one broke, I'm sure it's not far behind. I got my spring from FPC Euro, and the colours on the spring were different, it looked a few mils shorter, but ride height is identical. I'm ordering another today now that...

Maybe your thermostat? I know from personal experience that you can't do a Regen if the engine doesn't get hot enough.

Does anyone have a link to a video for this? I just pulled into the drive and my car that's been sitting waiting for a week for the turbo to get here seems to have had the rear springs break

That's at least the cheap fix though

Can anyone give me a little bit more information? I'm talking my car to have someone look at it in just a bit, and I don't know if it's safe to drive like this. Is it better to take side streets or the highway?

I mean, yes? This has by far been the worst car I've ever owned. It's my 4th and definitely last VW. My first was a 2001 mk4 Jetta, and I drove the doors off that sucker. Loved it. I put 185k miles on it with zero issues, and that convinced me that VW was a quality product. When that car met...

I have not. I'm at 120k miles, and so far I've had glow plugs replaces under warranty, exhaust flap not under warranty, did the thermostat and the timing belt, waiting on a lot to arrive for my emissions stuff. Right now I'm in the throws of likely turbo failure. But so far, no O2 failures...

Great. How long do I have, and can I drive it? The mechanic that I have been talking to about my dpf told me this morning that it could just be a crack in the egr tube that connects to the turbo, and that made sense to me since I haven't noticed any loss of power at all. It's driving exactly...

Sorry, should mention, cjaa engine on a 2011 jsw with 120k miles.

Hopefully someone can help me with this. This morning on my way to work my car started making a really loud whirring/whining noise when I accelerate. It happens as the engine revs, whether I'm moving or at a stop. Hopefully this video helps How bad is this and does anyone know what it'll cost...

I was trying to satisfy the rules of the forum?

Well, I got the p2002 this morning. I'm going to try to do a Regen (advice for that would be great, I think it's 5th gear, 2,500 rpm for 10-15 minutes), and see how much longer that lasts me. But it leaves me in the place I knew I would end up. 1k for a new DPF. I would love to do this...

When you tell me to just drop the subframe, I'm sure I have the same look on my face as other people do when I tell them to just butcher their own food to get steaks hahahaha What's my best resource for what I need? I can get an extra hand, I have the jack stands, I just need a guide. Oh and a...
