Ouch!! :sad:
Unfortunately it sounds like it may cost a bob or two.
Left hand side - it could be turbo / zorst related.

If the cat is knackered then it could mean a Miltek! (trying to look on the bright side)
If its really bad news then i will try and get the dealers to help with the cost.......
Do you think it could be anything to do with the fuel??

....Although your warranty ran out on Saturday, they may be able to be accommodate you as it's so close. Best not to count on it though.
Greeners:
Ben that really does suck mate!!
It probably seemed a lot worse than it is, especially when there's smoke involved! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, but if there is any issues with VW not covering it let me know as I have contact's within VW :wink: :happy2:
