Hi omeydz, couldnt reply on pm's and there isn't a scheduled time for it. the symptoms are eml on and supercharger clutch not engaging dtcs, ALOT of coolant loss, a rattling/squeel from the aux belt and a lack of power from idle to 3k revs when the turbo kicks in. They do also suffer with the chain tensioner problem aswell

Thanks for the advice guys. Definitely going to stay clear. I'm going to hang on to the TDI unless a nice TFSI Jetta pops up :)
