These VW/Audi turbo DI engines are known for carbon build up. At inspection, it was determined there was significant build up and it would cause issues soon. Had the valves walnut shell blasted to clean up. |
| 58000 mi US $750 |
Part in intake needed to be replaced. Covered by warranty. Decided to do the valve cleaning due to carbon buildup at the same time for a discount price |
| 23000 mi US $750 |
Turbo intercooler broke, lost all turbo power to the engine. Dealership said it was my fault and there was "a crack" but there was nothing. Tried jipping me for 1500 turned it down. |
| 2200 mi | Defective Secondary Pressure Motor. It took the dealer three tries but they fixed it. |
| 45000 mi US $1000 |
Cylinder head leak. |
2014 Volkswagen Golf / Rabbit / GTI 4dr Hatch
turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD
| 9250 mi | I am recording from the original work invoices that was provided with the car. I guess the car became slow above 2000 RPMS. The dealer investigated and replaced the turbo. This fixed the issue. Also the washer fluid sensor was replaced. |
2014 Volkswagen Golf / Rabbit / GTI 4dr Hatch
170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 27020 mi | Had a major problem with the turbo charger. It had to be totally replaced, but fortunately was within the warranty period. Apparently this is a known problem, which some people think they can avoid by changing the oil more often. We only use the high performance oil recommended by VW. |
