    Dkuster, I am surprised that his prices were high, he replaced the turbo along with brand new hoses, intake cleaning and oil change in my car for $1200, I know dealers would charge double the amount.

    96 Passat Questions

    I heard the opposite. Garrett turbos are more reliable than the KKK. My KKK turbo blew up at 88,000 miles (all stock) and my mechanic has heard many more of these that ended up the same way.

    Alex, go with the 10,000 miles changes, I have been owning my Jetta TDI for the last 6 years, using 5W40 Synthetic oil ( Delvac 1), the engine still purrs like a kitten. Rotella 5W40 (Wall Mart) or Valvoline power purple 5W40 (at NAPA stores) will do just fine. Don't listen to people who get...

    Funny John Stossel is mentionned in these posts, I have a friend who worked for ABC News and she told me that Mr Stossel is the most difficult and abusive to his staff, and the producers are aware of his behavior but cannot do anything since that he draws such high ratings.

    Could this be a MAF problem?

    MAF problems don't throw any codes , I know since it happened to my car. You can a free MAF from the dealer for a TDI below 70,000 miles. I would add some dielectric grease (Versachem) around the connections. Works wonders.
