When it rains, it pours.
So I recently had a timing belt strip going down the interstate on a forced 2,000 mile trip--with an appointment to have a timing belt job done nonetheless. Was stuck in the middle of the night in Kanas City and had to make a fast decision to take it to take it to a dealership that was open on a Saturday--unfortunately. Needless to say, they didn't impress me. Had problems with the injector lines leaking, the vacuum pump leaking oil, the serpentine belt tensioner rattling (now replaced) and a mind numbing case of them not changing the oil with valve/cam shaft/head damage.
Some of those things are now resolved. About to change the vacuum pump seal. And for the first time today, it starts making this noise. This is my second MKIV Jetta TDI and this is a new one for me. Car has 238,XXX miles. Manual. It's been stupid hot where I'm at right now--Tennessee. Any ideas?!?!?!? I have to drive to Montana tomorrow, 6 July 2011 (2,000+ miles) and then back several days later. I'd like not to, but I have to.
Hope this helps: http://youtu.be/iQTV2Bt6PoI
