So, my MKIV Golf TDI decided to blow up on Friday and I need it fixed.
As I was on my way to school, the oil light came on. I pulled over, checked the dipstick, there was no oil on it, although I had checked it a few days prior and it was normal. I added two quarts, started to drive again, and the oil light came back on, clouds of white smoke started shooting out, revs started jumping from 1-2 and the car would not go past 2k. Made it to school and left the car there since.
I’ve read through a bunch of threads and I’m thinking it is possibly the turbo?
I’ve been trying to contact Swiderski to get it fixed but have yet to receive a response. If you guys would see it on here faster, PM me so that I can bring it in if you have availability. Otherwise, if anyone else would be able to check it out/ fix it for a reasonable rate, please respond or PM me, I’d like to get this into a shop ASAP.
bushing turbo, likely blew one of them out, and blew all/most of the oil out of the exhaust. Justin’s number in his his signature, including his cell phone. Pm’s are for craigslist missed connection
Sorry we didnt get back to you, I just shot you a pm. My cell is also in my sig, justin is often very busy but dont give up. shame i didnt get this sooner today was a slow day at the shop.
Update: Dropped it off for these guys last night.
They’re very knowledgeable, and Mike probably knows everything there is to know about VWs. Definitely a couple of stand-up guys.
