wastegate on Turbo gone
« on: October 06, 2013, 05:36:59 pm »
Hi all,
I am just after abit of advice.
i have recently bought a golf gti and it seems that the wastegate has gone. (rattling)
The dealer i bought from is getting the turbo changed for me (probably a recon)
Any ideas why this goes? I am worried that it may happen again.
What is also worrying me is that the dealer's garage uses the correct oil? Anyway of checking for sure?
