has the coolant level dorpped? if so it may be the EGR cooler. just a thought. let lus know what the dealer says............

[Jmac]

Pressure test and Cylinder leak test will give you the answer, no if or buts. If available do a TK test which will detect CO in the coolant, great test as well
Good luck and hope its not that bad
Cheers

man that sucks big time...

I so want to extend my warranty for just peace of mine. I know one dealer who said I can, and they don't mind having the REVO etc, but if that manager leaves the dealership, I don't know if I will be covered!!!

Hmm....

My warranty is keeping enough cash in the bank to buy a crate engine if needed. It's less stressful than talking to a dealership haha.

I have also heard of turbo’s blowing out of warranty but if you have full service history with VW u can apply for a “good will claim” and VW will replace the necessary parts bearing the full cost…
And u have 2 know sum1 at the dealership – make friends before its too late, if the managers leave’s u kinda lost…
Btw I am getting my Pgti back on Friday, new turbo being fitted on Wednesday
