Hi, I have a 07 Golf GTI DSG, I bought it 4 weeks ago,
I took it into my local VW dealer last Friday for a full service,
They done,
oil filter Kit, Pollen Filter, Petrol Filter, Air Filter,
Fuse-20 AMP, G12-Coolant, A/Con Belt, Spark Plugs, Timing Belt Kit, Water Pump, DSG Gear Oil.
I collected my car Saturday evening, Service Manager went through all the work that was carried out and he also said that the Diagnostic Report came back with a fault, Turbo/Super Charger Overboost.
He told me to keep an eye on any sudden loss of power, and if i didn't notice anything, then it was ok,
I asked him was there a date for when that fault first came up, he said "no the date didn't come up for some reason"
He said everything came back with just the year 2000, but couldn't tell me when the Turbo Fault first came up,
So anyway i got my car and 5 minutes into my drive home i noticed i had no power whats soever, at first i thought i was just imagining it, so i kept driving but i just knew it wasn't right, it seemed to be reving way higher than usual before it changed gear and no power at all.
I rang the service manager, told him what was going on, he told me to bring it back on monday as they were now about to close.
I took it back this morning, and he told me that, yes the turbo is gone and needs to be replaced.
So my question is, would the Turbo go just like that? up to Saturday evening i never had a problem with it loosing power like that,
I mean i drove it into their yard with no trouble and 5 minutes after i get it back the Turbo is gone,
Is it all just a huge coincidence?
Sorry for the long post,
Thnaks guys.
