[Vwdiesel] Turbo noise

[Shalyn Shourds]

I appreciate the less than scary suggestions.  We did just get past a bit
of ice here and there were some ice chunks hitting the underside as I
fought my way to work.  I'm hoping it's just one of those shifting the
tailpipe. Haven't been able to get out and look lately because after years
of drought, it's been too wet to lay in my driveway.
