just an update to the bad luck. I took the TDI into work and had a buddy hook it up to his laptop. He said everything looked fine except that the turbo was kicking in @3200rpm instead of 1700 rpm. He said it shouldn't be a problem to drive it, but that I should get it into a shop and have it checked out. On the way home the timing belt slipped and the pistons got personal with the valves in the head. Valve shrapnel everywhere. It's out at Kermatdi because I don't have any time to mess with it right now. If all goes well it will only be about $2k, if it goes bad it could be like $4k. Ouch
