Seems old whistler the turbo is a tad worse for wear  :lipsrsealed:

Still - estimate for replacement was as bad as expected  :grin:

I love the fact that despite the amount of failures you have had with this car you still defend it as being a wise purchase because you can get it fixed quickly at work.... If it was any other situation....  :whistle: :laugh:

More than that I HEARD how it was being driven on German roads.

Passat don't make noises like that.  Thankfully it can get away from the nasty noises, by going fasterer.

Or out on track.  :whistle:
