Bougt me a new 220 CDI in Sweden, april 2003.
Lots of trouble the first 4 months :
11 liters of engine oil in 8.000 km and a new engine.
Lots of emrgency mode.
The work shop said: You ned a new engine, but the
Norwgian distributor said : No, this will be OK after some
time. So they put a new turbo in it, but then the oil
consumption raised from 1 litre/1000 km to 5 litres/ 700 km.
So, they ordered a new engine from Germany in July.
The engine arrived the workshop, and stayed beside my car
in the workshop for one week. Then they said : Sorry, we can't
do the job before the holyday is over in 2 weeks time.
Do I have to wait for 3 weeks and driving arrond in a bad A-class ?
The Norwegian distributor got my story, and asked med :
Do you expect us to solve your problems with you local dealer ?
Well, I hope you do. Two days after got my 220 CDI back with
the new engine.
After this I got lots of "display failures", and after some more
visits at my local dealer, they replaced a complete display.
- Not a happy story, but the last 8 months have been normal.
My first service was a "C-service" at 44.000 km- not bad ?
Happy former beetle-driver

Lets hope now that you have got rid of that "Friday Engine" everything will be OK. :D
