Maybe it's time to tension your belt, loosen the alternator and tighten it again.
2 silver pipes :?:
I suggest you look for leaking diesellines, while your at it replace the 2 feed/returnlines and the returnlines on the injectors..
It's that rare bird, the 1.9 AAZ Eco-Diesel ("Umwelt").Basicly it's got a neutered fuel pump, without the LDA on top of the pump that connects it to the turbo, single stage injectors, and lord knows what else different.Less power, worse mileage than the standard AAZ with the LDA.
So basically I've bought a Passat with the crappiest engine possible?
Is it at least going to last for a long time?
