Title: It's a BIG day today
Post by: catlin_cava on November 15, 2011, 02:22:19 am
So today!!! In less then 12 hours I'm going to the dealer to pick up out newest purchase, 2006 VW Jetta TDI loaded(everything but leather) its more cost effective at the moment to buy a new car then to try and salvage what's left of my motor while still in school.

I know about the issues PDs have and I'm not worried on it, I'll have some pictures up later today :D all I know it's gray lol

replaced the head on one a month ago... terrible to work on. except gearbox is easy to remove.

I just want something that drives and I dont have to worry about that if it breaks i call a tow truck and they take it to a dealer and fix it!

and a MK6 Golf 2 door 2.5 5 Speed is the choice

Nah, his girlfriends car just rubbed the curb, it didn't end in kabam status.

What are you doing to these things to get a turbo failure? That is the 2nd one in less than 2 months. It didn't hurt the rest of the engine did it?

it just went funky with overboosting to underboosting and limp modes. i think the Vanes went on the Mk5, but they are a known issue with that motor. and I did nothing for it to blow up lol

and my life almsot went kabam status when i hit the curb with Nats car, and her in it  :P

You know you can open the turbo clean out the vanes, right? It's a lot cheaper than buying a new car.

Yea but when the payment is only 70$ more a month for a new car with a warrenty compared to a car bought in November I'd rather get a new one lol, I'm tired of dealing with problems on cars I use to travel to college and back

The dealer is buying it back, (trading in kinna) we are still waiting for the dealer to find the Golf we want,
