2.0 Turbo Problems!!!
Hello everyone. I am not a mechanic and would be very grateful for any advice that would lead toward an "easy" repair for my wife's 2007 Passat 2.0 Turbo:
Previous problems with the 2007 car: a. Head lights not moving (turn with car) b. Xenon head lights replaced three times c. Cruise control failed d. Drivers side window quit working e. Gas cap constantly reading "not shut" (12 service trips) f. Fuses blown for auxilary 12V power g. Rear brakes replaced below 40,000 miles??? Current Problems with some history:
We would be grateful for any advice you could give. |
I have an 06 2.0T and this same thing happened to me. I was not due for an oil change just yet and I was driving through a canyon, rather fast and aggressive but I also put $7,000 into performance parts from new ecu to new suspension, so now Im pushing around 300hp as well as torque, the car is very fun. Anyways, a few miles into the canyon my oil light comes on as well as my computer reading "STOP! Turn off engine". So I pull over and check the dipstick, as soon as I pull the stick an enormous amount of pressure shoots out of the hole. So i wait until the pressure stops and I remove the oil cap, only to find nothing but a little smoke rising from where multiple quarts of oil should have been. I immediately brought it to a garage to have an oil change and they told me the same thing, it is not unusual for a car to run its oil bone dry. I dont really agree with this but I do think the only way to prevent this from happening is to keep a close eye on your oil AT ALL TIMES. Just stay on-top of your maintenance, however, It is my opinion that you ran your engine without an oil for too long a time and you burnt out your turbo :( Im almost positive if you take it to a VW prof they will tell you the same thing.

Same thing happened to my wife with the oil pressure/ warning. I took it in to the dealer, bone dry, they said it wasn't unusual to use more oil, and for me to keep a check on it. It has about 55k on it. A few days later my check engine light comes on, gotta take it back again, sucks...
