Indeed. And they probably earn my yearly salary in a month.I have a feeling those guys can afford to replace turbos on a weekly basis. Looks like fun though.
I hate people like you. You're the reason no one trusts buying used vehicles anymore. Blows it up probably due to being a moron, Then half ass fixes it like a real scab would and dumps it on the next guy. I can just picture your ad now. "Runs great. Nothing wrong with it. Dealer maintained"When the turbo exploded on m previous Mk5 Golf, I bought a used one from junk yards.
I'm not saying that it looked like in DBW's picture but the compressor wheel was "dirty" covered in black dust or how to call it. Anyway, I just installed it and sold the car.
Stuipd you, sorry. Firstly, good cars cost. I "dumped" it for a really low price. Besides, each person who is buying a used car should inspect it carefully.I hate people like you.

It's really nothing to be proud of and bragging online about.
Now regarding this, I could say similar statement from experience. Because of wives who cheat on their husbands, no one trusts getting a (used) woman nowadays. The fact is that some of them are b!t.ch.es and there is nothing you can do. If you've married a b!t.ch., then it's your fault - you should have been more cautious before taking that step.You're the reason no one trusts buying used vehicles anymore.
Once again, I point you to the ***Official maintenance schedule for your VW [PDFs inside]***The original purpose of the TDI 101 Forum Section was to give newbies a place to ask questions without being flammed, even though flamming is against the forum rules.
ftfy.SOME people dont sell cars cuz the relatiionship has ran its course. SOME sell cuz its a pain in thier @$$ and on its last leg. NOT Everyone does it.
Yep!ftfy.
That looks like it was made for a tractor trailer engine? If so their engines are 5-7 times the size of ours.
Hasn't moved yet. I wonder if it's "too big" for this application.

I think that's for a much larger engine.Hasn't moved yet. I wonder if it's "too big" for this application.
Here'a another thread to read: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?p=1034432Mercedes uses a pressure sensor in the MAF to detect filter performance and limits this to 20 hPa, VW uses a fixed interval of 60,000 miles using the 15,000 mile per year average.
I know for a fact that the VW filters even after 80,000 miles still show less than 5" WC which is 1/5th of the limit.
Take a deep breath. Everything DBW has posted is completely on point, accurate and correct.DBW Bite Me! You over complicate everything if a TDI engine is that sensitive to a little dust then it was a of piece of crap to start with that is just not livin' in he real world and all the members here should junk them as the engine is too sensitive to any normal environmental changes. Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. You may be obsessed with perfection but I do not believe the car was manufactured that way any how. And neither are the replacement air filters. I worked in automotive parts manufacturing at GKN and nothing was ever made as precise as you think it is.
Too Big?

Forgive me father for I have sinned. My 02 Golf has both 430,000 Kms and the original air filter. I take it out once per year m/l and clean it (and the "snow screen") with warn soapy water. Let it dry and inspect for holes or tears. Finding none, reinstall it. No probs so far.WOW what a lot of words about a lot of nothing in the end. If the system was delicate many many many would have failed with a disastrous result which I have never read here. Sorta like this..........Geez I opened my airbox checked out my filter and now the engine is kaput. There are many more failures that these cars will have long before the airbox seal has led to them.
