Hi guys,
Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Just got VW to look at my car (TDi 170 GT Sport MY2008) as noticed a strange noise which was like a bearing in a turbo (slight grinding).
Anyway, technician picked up on a different noise (whistling as turbo spools up, which I thought was normal turbo sound!), which he confirmed was the turbo (even though he had just said it was very rare for these cars to blow turbos!) and said it needs replacing!
I bought the car 6 wks ago, with 12 months warranty. Will this cover a blown turbo? The lady I booked the car in with seemed to think so, but couldn't (or wouldn't) confirm!!! I am now worried they'll repair it, and hand me a tasty 3 figure sum bill!!
My BF says they have a cat in hells chance we will pay them, and as he did manage to get them to go 50/50 on two new rear tyres, due to flat spots, then I trust what he says!
After owning many a turbo car over the years, I know this is an expensive part to start replacing!! Can you put a girls mind at rest?
