Hi,
My name is Les, proved and happy owner of 2006 Jetta TDI - until last week when I found out that my engine is not so healthy. The guy just asked if I have extended warranty on it, if not and he starts taking the engine apart I may see bill around $4000-$5000 (because this is "very expensive" engine). This may be truth, but I'm not buying that the engine is going, from whatever I can hear and feel this smells like camshaft/timing to me. So instead giving away $4000 I decided to inspect belt/camshaft myself and fix them if necessary - this is not rocket sceince after all.
I hope I'll find some help here.
Thanks
Les
