My turbo has been replaced



Believe it or not, my friendly dealership replaced my turbo this week
under warranty.  Not a word was said about the TAP chip, so I'm not sure
if they didn't know or just turned their heads.  The diagnosis was a
defective wastegate, which I have heard was a problem with the earlier
1.8T's.  I'm kind of sad to not be in the 1999 Passat V6 loaner any
more, though.  That tiptronic/V6 combo was loads of fun.

In addition, they replaced my driver door window regulator after I
complained of an odd noise as the window went down.  Hope that's the
last of that as I will soon be out of warranty (In Jan.)
