    Welcome to VWAF

    Did you buy the car from VW or another trader?

    Have a quick browse through this section and see if anything pops up.

    Its sadly an absolute nightmare on the early TSIs and can be expensive to put right. If you have any of the symptoms best to get it looked at soon rather than leave it too late and destroy the engine.

    The UK Motoring press hasn't really covered it but there is a good article here worth a read (translated from German to Russian then English!) http://translate.google.co.uk/transl...topic%3D204747
