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. I am recording from the original work invoices that was provided with the car. The windshield washer fluid sensor was replaced because it showed the washer fluid to be empty even when full.

Nov 2016 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.
