As a huge redblock Volvo fan and previous owner of a dozen or so Volvos and one 2011 VW Golf TDI 6mt with full deletes, cr170 turbo, CP3 hpfp, lowering springs, Bilsteins, etc. , I feel your pain. My Golf was problem free for 180k though, except for a mouse that decided to chew into the main wire harness. Anyhow, a smf should absolutely never be used on the 2L commonrail TDIs- it will damage the transmission synchros every single time. DMF only! Good luck brother.

That is a sad story. That's why on my TDI group everybody is wanting to buy the older ALH or BEW. I for one own a 2004 TDI 5-speed that I bought new. I just turned over 440,000 miles on the car runs perfectly. The older ones they seem to be the better engine designs. I've seen the same cars with 800,000 miles on them with the original engines. Thanks for posting the video it was sad 😢

Hey man, I'm really sorry for your loss. I'm fairly local to you... Rome GA and I have an A3 TDI. I've only had it for about a year and a half, and haven't had too much trouble with it. I'm rooting for you bud. I was looking at a Stevenson Tune as well. Do you think the tune had anything to do with the failure?

@DeanofMachines Жыл бұрын

Nice to see a fellow Georgian! I don't think the tune had any factor what so ever in this failure. I'm assuming the gasket on the oil cooler housing failed and is bypassing oil internally. This is just a guess.

I've had 6 of these tdi's. Currently still have my wifes 2014 wagon with a dsg. Owned it since 5k now at 90k. Kept up with service and have had absolutely no problems with it. No of them ever had a single problem. This blows my mind. Im guessing both those engines where neglected?

@DeanofMachines Жыл бұрын

Both engines are over 100k miles. The motor that was in it when I got it may or may not have been maintained well. I'm not sure. The second motor, in the 25k that I ran it, was not neglected. It saw 4 oil changes, oil levels checked frequently. I can't speak for it's experience before finding it's way to me. It could be an age thing. I have confirmed with an independent shop that the gasket between the oil cooler housing and the block fails and oilpressure is lost.

Ive been driving my ALH 2000 Golf TDI since 2002 when I bought it from the original owner with 50k on it. It now has 221k. Been wrecked twice and put back together by me. Its a base GL model so no power windows or sunroof or heated seats to break. Its been one of the most reliable vehicles Ive owned next to the 1983 Mazda B2200 diesel truck I bought new and retired in 1999 with 579k on it due to frame rust. That being said, there is no middle of the road with a VW. You either get a really good one, or a real piece of shit. Before the Golf I had a 2000 Beetle TDI I bought new and it was nothing but trouble. Made them take it back and gave me a 2001 Beetle TDI and that was almost as bad. Bought a beat up 98 Beetle TDI and drove it a year with zero issues before I bought the Golf in 2002 because I was tired of the build quality of the Mexican Beetle. I hope to run this car another 10 years if the body and parts supply holds out.
