Turbo has been having problems since Dec 2001 - volksw failed to diagnose problem correctly after $1100 worth of repairs. Turbo went out on vehicle, causing oil to not be circulated through the engine, and instead flowed straight into the exhaust. Volkswagen arranged to replace the engine in my vehicle per my warranty, but later changed their diagnosis and only replaced the turbo.
Engine check light has come on three (3) different times. First time was oxygen sensor, 2nd time was a valve on the turbo, and the 3rd time was the mass air flow sensor.
