Re: Jacking point (flange) got bent

I sold my Scirocco and bought a Volvo C70 first gen. I had the same problem with the similar sill got bent in the C70 so i had to take it to the auto shop to repair it.
Luckily i could repair mine.

You simply cannot lift a car where 90% of all tire / car shops do it from. I should stop doing that :p

2.0 TSI discontinued in Sweden

I see that the 2.0 TSI has been discontinued in Sweden.

Only 1.4 TSI and 2.0 TDI are available. Then we have the TSI R too.

Why would they do that?

Re: Timing belt gone!

This is a well known problem with the 2.0 tsi engine. Volkswagen has a technical bulletin for this. If you have been a loyal customer to Volkswagen, try to ask them for goodwill. To be honest, in most cases when the tensioner fails, you will probably need a new engine. Search my posts and on other f...

Re: Cam belt/chain help

I thought stretching was not the issue, but the tensioner that could just break and loosen the chain?

Is timing chain failure rate high on the Scirocco?

I'm a little worried about the famous timing chain tensioner that can go bad and misalign the timing chain in my 2.0 TSI and in worse case, wreck the whole engine. I've read a few reports about the tiguan and golf Gti with that failure (with ofcours 2.0 TSI). Anyone heard about this happening to Sci...

Re: Should I worry about this. (image)

Cool, thanks. I would guess the semi-circular hole is there as drainage. That oil around made my worry. Where would it come from? I'd guess its the main crankshaft seal (what is it called?) that is leaking a little and getting in to that area where there shouldn't be any oil but gets drained by the ...

Oil on the turbo

I have an oil leak on my turbo. I see oil on the turbo intake hose from above in the engine compartment, and from below, the "cool" side of the turbo and nothing on the hotside going out as exhaust. I've read its a bit common with oil coming from the crankcase ventilation hose and in to th...

Re: Bad engine sound. youtube (audio) clip.

I listened to it now when the engine was warm.
Sounded a lot better. I filmed (and listened) when the engine was freshly started.

Re: Bad engine sound. youtube (audio) clip.

I agree, however if you compare your engine sound to my engine, be aware that yours has a belt and mine has a chain.
I don't know if that would make any difference.

Still, mine sounds bad, but just maybe should sound like that.
