[Vwdiesel] 120000 mile service on my Jetta/ Needs formySciroccoturbodiesel swap

[James Hansen]

Hmm... no that isn't.
Will have a look at mine in a year or so anyway, as it should definitely NOT
be let go as far as ours was.  Bits of carbon HAD to be breaking off and
being injested, so a cracked ring land would not surprise me in the future
at all.  Moreover, the egr was leaking where it goes through the brass
bushing into the manifold... replacement was 600 beans and a boat ride from
the fatherland.  Why oh why did the nits that designed that make the egr
diaphragm integral to the manifold....  I tapped the drain hole and ran a
line to underside of the car to get the nasty stuff that leaks out away.
TDI's are very nice, but there are some things that leave a lot to be
desired...

Wasn't there some trouble with the epsilonian device as well? was that taken
care of?
