I purchased a 2006 Jetta TDI about 2 months ago. About 2 weeks ago, the car started to accelerate by it's self, then heard this horrible grinding clanking noise and the car was dead. I was driving about 30 mph and the entire event happened in only a few seconds.
I towed it to where I purchased it and they agreed to install a new motor for $2500 and they would take care of the labor.
Last week they called to say they installed the new engine, started it up and within 2 min that engine blew also.
They had checked the turbo and it was fine but found diesel in the oil in both the old and new engine.
Now they want me to purchase another engine, they would install it and then tow to the dealer before starting it. They do not want to be responsible for another blown engine.
However, from my point of view, we tow it to a dealer, they turn it on, it blows and now I'm back to square one but out $5,000 with a non working car.
Does anyone have an idea about reasons for diesel in the oil? Then have now mentioned, fuel pump, injectors, or computer.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
