2004 Golf TDI Diesel Engine Issues
I have a 2004 Golf TDI, 5 Speed with 150,000 highway miles on it. I just spent $3,000 to have the timing belt and turbo charger replaced. The engine has now begun making a knocking noise and the VW dealer will tell me tomorrow if it needs top end or bottom end work. I've been told to expect another $3,000 +/- bill.
Should I look for another used or rebuilt engine or begin shopping for another vehicle and sell this one AS IS to a junkyard or rebuilder? Body and interior are in great shape.
Thanks ahead of time for your input.
Cheers,
Mike Dyer
