Guest Head Gasket Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 :( My Gal 1.9TDi Ghia (December 2002) has just had its 40K service. I reported a road related "knocking noise" from engine area which has been getting steadily worse since around 33K. I was supprised to learn that the o/side drag arm shows excessive wear. Has any body else experienced the same. I'm new to this forum, so a big hello to all! Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 Yeah, known problem. Mine was done at less than 18,000 miles and others have been done at less mileage than this. Welcome to VW quality standards..... Quote
seatkid Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 :( Welcome to the whacky world of the Shalaxy, where a few piss poor quality bits spoil what should be a great motor. And where dealers do their best to break whatevers left. :( Quote
