Hi, all! I'm not sure if this is a basic question, but I wasn't sure where else to post it.
I've got a 2000 Beetle 1.9L TDI. This girl's had a lot of work done and I thought I had her lined out, but the mechanic who did some other repairs said that the source of my problem was the turbo. I'd had it replaced several years ago, but the mechanic told me that the replacement (which was an aftermarket) wasn't correct. He said that I'd need a new one, but that she's picky. I was told that the turbos for this model have two different bearing sizes and the one that was in it was the "smaller" size and I would need the "larger bearing size" for it to be right.
I've consulted my service manual and been all over Google, but I can't find any options that provide the specifications of the bearings. Does anyone here happen to know how I could find that info or what I should be looking for? Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm dying to get this girl back on the road!
