Golf r turbo failure

[PRND[S]]

Of course. The VW dealer has no authority to modify the terms of VW's warranty.

Dumb question incoming... How can I tell which turbo version my baby has?

I would like to know the answer to this also. I suppose look on the turbo?

it is easier to use a cellphone, put your hand near the firewall and take a picture using flash towards the turbo, you will probably have to try a few times but you will eventually get the plate that is on the turbo with the part number.

I think it depends on what the dealer does in terms of the "online" system. In most cases they do not run the full test that sends the info over to the main server which is very time consuming as it takes up to 15min according to people I have spoken too. This is quite a bit of data transfer.
In most cases I think dealers do not do the online things and people think they got away with it. The ones that they do are not so lucky.

I thought in order to have a claim approved VW has to follow the online procedure? If not then it seems they are inconsistent both at the dealership and at the head office or wherever the claim is approved from?

A better idea is to shoot a video (using a phone) instead of a photo. Much easier.
I tried taking a video and found mine to be 702N

Part no on turbo

I just took a mirror with 7-80 mm (3 inch) diameter. Just hold it in some different angles behind the turbo you will see the number. It will of cause be mirror reversed…

New Ea888 Gen 3 turbo part numbers are out:

06K 145 722 G - MK7 Golf GTI

Life is too short to cry and be sad over a freakin faulty Turbo! I know that one day it will fail on me, but what can i do about it so till then i'll keep and let the warranty do its thing.

Sorry to hear about this brother. Hope you get it sorted soon.

 

[Brinkmen]

My production date is 1/15 as is Harelows R. Does anyone know off hand what turbo revision we have?

Sorry to hear that OP, 702 N is the second turbo version on the R; these were known to fail on stock cars and your dealer knows this. Your car however was tuned so VW will most certainly not honor the warranty. My guess is yours was going to fail at some point; and the tune has just accelerated the failure.

At this stage, I recommend that your dealer checks for debris in the engine just to make sure you do not need an engine replacement, and if all goes well, you should consider an aftermarket turbo from TTE or the likes, might be even cheaper than the OEM replacement...

Just for reference these are the turbo versions on the golf R:

06K 145 702 J
06K 145 702 N
06K 145 722 A
06K 145 722 H

So which version is supposed to be the good one? I haven't checked which version I have on my car but I just picked my car up 30 days ago so it has to be the newest, right? Thanks.

722 H is the revised turbo for the R. Even tho you just got it recently, best to check. You never know what the date of production was. The turbo has a placard on the side that says the model number. Should be able to capture it using your smart phone with the flash on on the side of the turbo.
