it's embarassing to see your car get towed and a member of beyond noticed it and took a pic of it.

I dont know if he parked in a tow away zone but neither did you.

So It could be anything.

[A_3]

He coulda been speeding super excessively, they were supposed to do that to my car for my ticket but i was able to get him to drop the speed. Just a thought though, probably just broke down.

[CLiVE]

May as well post my own. We've all been there.

Damn clutch slave......clutch slave #1 that is...

At least this will never happen to the MINI. I'll just throw it in the back of a pick-up, or carry it home on my back.

[CelicaST-162]

Hmm so thats Barts car hey, VERY nice. It was parked at Aberhart this week...whats with that? lol....NICE CAR!

yeah i noticed that too but its been the first time ive seen it there. does he go to abe or is he just borrowing it?

[JAYMEZ]

You guys think that pic is bad , i got a nice pic of me getting pulled out of the snow by a tow truck :P:nut:

[Dj_Stylz]

show us ahha

[rage2]

I'm not trying to embarass bart, just curious what happened. God knows how many times my car's been towed (both Benz and Porsche).

[bart]

woohooooooo! i'm famous!

hey guys, i'm guessing my turbo blew, and it hydrolocked my engine with oil, its at the stealership now...

sounds to me like its time for a new engine, it wont even turn over anymore! :(

"i was driving a couple hours ago, whatever, in 1st gear, give it some gas on acceleration 75% throttle, and i hear a clank, ummm ok, car jerks, i am able to speed up to 50 in second, then another clank, and rpms drop to 1500, no higher no less. while later, i give gas, car accelerates REALLY slow, boost is 0psi. then, it doesnt accelerate, back down to 1500rpm, another clank, and a [censored] load of blue smoke coming out of my exhaust... then it dies, and i roll to a stop.

now it doesnt turn over...

did the oil from the turbo spill into the cylinders and hydrolock it? weird thing too, i just filled up with diesel from esso, i never tried them before, i drove about 5km before this happened... i dunno if that matters or not. "

I hear ya. Embarassing is having a car, spotless at the carwash and the ignition/lock tumbler seizes on you....or, again at the Car wash, plug wire finally goes kaput.....

I feel your pain...LOL

[illeagle]

Oh... shit. warrenty?:dunno: Hope it gets fixed quick and properly.

[finboy]

having been stranded by my cars 10 times in 2 years (only getting towed 7 times though :D, all for the jetta) i know your pain, lol.

maybe see what mountgomery has kicking around for motors, good luck.

*cough*turbo upgrade*cough*

[Moe Man]

hope you get it fixed :thumbsup:

Hahahahaha :rofl:


I had the same dilemma back in the days of the firefly...

[bart]

so dealer called today, they want $450 to take engine apart and see whats wrong, i said excuse me? it doesnt start, so fix it, i have full warranty. they said, well just in case it wont be warrantied... are they thinking they'll find a wrench inside or something? retarded. i'm going in on monday. they also need to call the vw rep to authorize this, its a big job.

[Kona9]

Fuck that Bart.........WSP on here has an 02 A4 and his engine did the exact same thing. I have the warranty papers right in front of me. He paid 39.00 dollars for a new Turbo, Engine, install etc. Tell them it will be hard to fix anything after you cut their fuckin arms off. BULLSHIT. PM me if you like. WSP is away. but I have his papers if you have questions

[bart]

ok thanks, i will keep that in mind. i know another who this happened to on a tdi, but he was out of warranty already, the bill was $5800... :( i will speak with them in person tomorrow first.

[Dj_Stylz]

keep us updated

[finboy]

i've heard northland's service department isn't the best to deal with, stand firm in your position, and if they still refuse, tell them the "what did the 5 fingers say to the face" joke ;)

sorry to hear this shit happened to your car bart.....hope all goes well with the stealership...

[maximus]

Sucks to hear Bart. But I think you better be prepared. I'm sure they'll try and blame it on some mod of yours, or refuse to replace the engine becuase its been modified.

Hope all goes well and soon you'll be back!!

What you described sounds like what happened to me last week. I was driving down deerfoot when I had to give my car more and more throttle just to keep it at 100kph. My boost guage was reading 0psi too. I turned the engine off as I was coasting off to the side of the road. I tried starting my car again and it wouldn't budge. Turned out that my engine oil feed (I think it was the timing chain tensioner) starved my engine of oil. All four of my rod bearings were ****ed, as well as my whole crank.

Haha.. I keep telling the wife I wanna get a Mini to keep in the glove box incase the car breaks down!!

That really sucks about your car. Good luck with the Stealership. Of course they will try and find something YOU did to cause this, so good luck and as it was said above... keep us posted.

[bart]

ok, after more researching, and talking with some people, i am now thinking its possible that my timing belt snapped. the tdi is an 'interference' engine, unlike honda's i think, so once that breaks, everything inside starts colliding with everthing else, in the end i will have bent rods, pistons, and valves, etc.

i will be at the stealer tomorrow morning first thing, i will check oil level, if there is no oil in the chamber, i will assume turbo blew, otherwise check the belt, and its condition if it still exists...

:rolleyes:

[Strider]

timing belt went so soon?

how many kms on your car?

[CalgaryB5]

Bart.

Were you being too rough on her?

[bart]

42k. no, not being rough. no matter how 'rough' you are on a car, this does not affect the operation of timing. whether its idling or full throttle, doesnt matter.

[ExtremeSi]

Ya my timing belt broke on me a while ago, and I experienced very similar symptons to what you described. I also wasn't abusing it- just cruising along on the highway. Mine's a Honda and it too has an interference engine, so it was a big job, but the pisons and rods were fine. It was just the valves that got all bent. Maybe VWs are a bit different, but good luck with whatever happens.

[bart]

ok, got back from stealership, timing belt was fine. the seal around the turbo went w/ bearing... on the tdi, the oil is shared by the engine, thats how its cooled. so this leaked into the intake, and the turbo forced all the oil into the cylinders through the intercooler.

later, the piston tried to compress the oil, which it couldnt, forcing the rod to bend, and thats when she died. at the very least the whole thing will be rebuilt with a new turbo... preferrably i'd like a new one, but they were still checking damage after i left. i will try to snap pics tomorrow maybe post them.

[rage2]

Good to see the dealership is warrantying the whole thing.

[bart]

yes. :thumbsup:

[finboy]

so they're fixing it all?

damn, you just squeezed blood from a stone, lol.

i've heard many less than pleasing stories about northland vw for customer service and waranty issues.

[bart]

they've been good to me. i only go there for service, thats where i bought the car, so i want to be loyal, and not have issues when it comes to things like this. i'm always there buying parts and what not, so i'm no stranger, that may have something to do with it too. but i dont want to speak too soon, car isn't fixed yet! lol

No shit. I hope they will repair her as lovely as original, but do you think it will still perform the same with that much of damage had been done?

[bart]

well thats what i asked, mechanic assured me it will be perfect again, like new. thats why they are checking everything before they will start ordering parts, so when they do put it together, it isnt making some weird noise or anything, i mean, it has to be, otherwise apart it goes again, so i'm pretty sure they will do it right. i will make sure anyway.

[bart]

ok, might as well post pics, get some more people laughing at me, ahah.

before that, i'd like to say that i love vw, and despite what happened, i dont think anything less of them. they engineer cars, not build them. if it works, it works amazing, if it doesnt, then shit hits the fan. simple as that. none of that in between stuff.

car might be on the road late tomorrow. i have a new shiny "heart" (turbo) and all new internals, pistons, piston rings, rods, etc. only the connecting rod to the piston was bent, but they are replacing everything.

doh! (how about enabling dynamic images admins?)

i remember reading somewhere that this was fixed with 2002.5+ cars or something, they revised the seals. because i have not heard of anyone with really late model cars having these problems. the 2004's are totally different, they're PD engines.
