[Vwdiesel] Turbo troubleshooting

[paulr]

That's what I thought, Loren.  I wanted to see the part.
Dealer wouldn't do that on a warranty repair.

The dealer installed a Garrett cartridge (saw green
sticker on the wastegate).

I remember reading an online VW service bulletin from the
late '90's.  Certain car models were 'sposed to be
checked, and Garrett turbos were 'sposed to be replaced
with KKK. Garrett must be back in VW's good graces now.
