GTI woes...

[Kev]

Todd, I think it was indeed low, and the bearings were all replaced, along with the oil pump.  They put a guage on it again, and it was better.  the oil pressure light did not come on nearly as often as it had... so I hope this fixes it!

[Kev]

Oh, and I did see the old bearings / pump that were replaced.  I wanted to have him take the car back, but since the wholesaler has been putting money into making it right the lemon law does not apply.  I am hoping this does it, cause I love the dang car...

[Kev]

OK latest update... the mechanic drove the car last night, and THE SAME THING HAPPENED!  so... the broker dude said if he cant fix it TODAY he WILL be buying it back, and I will be back in the market for another....

sounds like you found a good guy to work with.

this is a 1.8turbo right????. Some of the problems could be due to oil cokeing. I've heard that this is a problem with a few years of the 1.8t's. Talk to Jay down at Waldenberg. They have had a few of the engines in with similar probs in the last couple of months....

OK, car is apparently fixed now.  Turns out there was a bad oil pressure sender, among other problems, but it should be all good now, I hope!  I will be getting it back tomorrow, if all goes well!
