Hello VW Owners,
I have a 2006 MK5 Jetta SE TDI with 81,000 miles or about 131,000 kilometers on it. I purchased the vehicle used with an additional 25,000 miles (40,000 KM) or two year warranty; which ever comes first.
I currently have 5000 miles remaining on the warranty and am interested in getting every possible repair/preventative maintenance completed before warranty expires.
As per myturbodiesel, I have read up extensively on the valve camshaft and lifter wear problem with BRM Pumpe Duse engines and am certain my car has at least one worn lobe. Furthermore, from my understanding a new camshaft is nearly a $1000.00 if not greater!
My question is how likely do I have this problem with my car? If I got the dealership to do an inspection would warranty cover this part? And how much estimated labor hours would go into the inspection?
Finally, the camshaft is a major concern of mine, but does anyone else know any major problems that I could potentially get corrected before the Pre-Loved warranty expires? Again my car has 81,000 miles.
Any additional information on "common VW MK5 Jetta TDI BRM QGG vehicle problems" would be much appreciated!
Thanks for taking the time to look!
