At 83,000 miles our volkswagen jetta tdi 2006 utterly failed with a cam shaft and lifters failure. This is a well known problem with the jetta. - vw refused to acknowledge it. Within 3000 miles of the repair the turbo was completely destroyed - most likely from metal fragments in the oil from the cam lifter problem. They did nothing to clean the system with the first repair - which clearly led to the complete…

The engine in our 2006 tdi dsg began to exhibit rough idling. At a certain point it became evident something was wrong.

I could hear what sounded like an intake valve popping and could feel a pulsation in the turbo intake hose. I checked on some of the forums and was shocked to learn of the early…
