Well its just ticked over 97,000 miles.
Sounds really rough at idle, not sure why and when you put the clutch down if you lift the clutch quick it makes this clicking/flicking sound from the engine area, drives fine, clutch works fine. Release bearing or dual mass? Ive just seen the clutch/flywheel kits for these are £500 upwards !
Then theres the turbo, it whined when i got it, but now its even worse to the point where people turn and look but only at low speed it whines, or when pulling away/building up speed.
Its still got a water leak, sometimes it will go 3 weeks without any loss, then it will empty the bottle in 24 hours, then itl slowly drop over a week, then its fine again for another week. Its got the revised C head on it so its not that.
Lastly, a dumpvalve sound, when you give it a strong boot and then change gear theres a load psshhhh sound with a faint wooo/coooo squeak at the end of it.
They dont build them like they used to, my MK4 TDi was more solid, handled better etc. id still have that now if it wernt for the headgasket issue!
