RE: turbo boosting weird

I have a 2004 Jetta wagon and had a problem with my Turbo. They found a bad wire harness. It is right behind the turbo on the right side. The wires were being pulled and had a short, causing the Turbo to kick on and off. See if your dealer will check this? Mine was under warrenty and was FREE! NO problems what so ever again!
