Just picked up a MY07 Jetta with the 2.0FSI engine and 6spd manual. I was looking for some info on maintenance and DIY since I couldn't find much on the BVY engine.
Does the BVY engine suffer the same cam follower issues as the turbo engines? The HPFP seems to be tucked away a bit more, any advice on getting to it to check? Has anyone else with this engine had issues or checked theirs?
Are there any other common problems I should look into?
Car runs fine but seems to have a stuck thermostat (sits around 75deg only reaching 90deg on big climbs) and a decent diff or gearbox whine only noticeable around 70kph. Any advice on changing the thermostat? I am about to purchase the haynes manual for the golfs and jettas of this era but if theres another better option I'll go for that.
Cheers!
