Hi! It's my first post- so... Hello! [well... exactly second- first was almost the same as this]
I've been directed here by google phrase "bad turbo gti"- but my issue doesn't fit into this topic directly- but somehow it's connected.
Car: Seat Leon 5F, eurospec, CJSA engine. MY2013
Turbocharger- 06K145701S [they have quit mounting it on november 2014]
Mileage- 40kkm, still going
Symptoms- rattling noise under light/moderate acceleration (like a midget under a bonnet, furiously rustling with a plastic trash bag)- I've checked an wastegate arm- well, there's some loose. Under full throttle- it doesn't sound so bad, as long ambient temperature is below 27*C [80*F]- when temperature rises above 32*C[~90*F]- noise is quite disturbing. Last summer I was driving in 37*C [~100*F]- and it was howling like an dying animal.
Oil consumption- it ate some of it, especially last 2000km (about 100ml)
Other symptoms? Without power-box connected, on dyno chart- torque was below factory numbers (where it should generate ~250NM+, there was roughly 215NM, and it started to rise above 4krpm, to peak with 275NM @ 5900rpm), power also was where it shouldn't- factory declared power was 180HP, on dyno it blowed 237 @ 6krpm.
Mods? At 28kkm i've mounted power-box, took it off at 31kkm. Rest of distance was stock, because i've wanted to make stage 1 [which was made, but the gains were symbolical- 306NM, 247HP- so i've come back to stock, and finally didn't made any changes]
And... On autoscan- no fault codes. DashCommand displays 0.6bar boost. Trims are good, MAF/MAP doesn't give strange readings. MPG is normal. AFR- 14,7 almost constantly. MPG is correct (maybe bit above what was when i've buyed it).
What's next? I didn't know. Warranty has ended, car runs well (besides the numbers, and some kind of turbo-lag). And i'm still wondering- what the hell is causing that. And how long will it go.
Edit: I remember something- while using box, i was once rushing to work, and after that i've experienced dv-clicking noise after ignition off. Thing stopped to happen immidiately after disconnecting power-box. So... Maybe not turbocharger crapped out, but dv given up?
