Thread: Turbo leaking oil

    Turbo leaking oil

    Has anyone had a problem with their stock turbo leaking oil??? I've had it had it for 6 months (had done 14,000k when i bought it) and its now done 20,000km and it already leaking... gathering this is covered under new car warranty... only thing i only purchased it a little while ago and it was over due for a service.. would that effect the new car warranty????

    Warranty should cover it...Never had the leaking Turbo problem. Get a gealership to check it out.

    hey gti chick even though you're in perth you should have a range of resources at your fingertips.....

    look for an accredited (even better still.... approved by the vwwa forums) workshop, and thats better than any run-of-the-mill workshop who'll tell you they deal with vw's in the same fashion as with subarus.....

    look on the recommended repairers section of this website... may prove helpful....

    Hey, if you're north of the river try Golfwagen, south of the river try Quattro Motors. Shouldn't have any issues with either of them, both highly regarded on here it seems.

    its still under warranty, take it to VW and get them to fix it. easy peasy. no need to go paying an independent when its VW's responsibility.
