Urgent Help Needed -1.4 gti dsg

Post by littlevdubgp »

Hi Guys ,

In need of urgent help, have a pologti 6r. Engine was just done on the car last week now there is a noise coming from the (supercharger/water pump side) apparently there is an issue with the supercharger, prior to this i had no issues with boost or any trouble with the charger. Heavy clunking noise. VW replaced my water pump last year so I doubt it could be that. Question is if this is the magnetic clutch for the supercharger can this be replaced separately? VW want like 40k for a supercharger which warranty does not cover.

Anyone has a good mechanic that knows these vehicles,? Please dm me. Car is parked now a bit hesitant to drive it.

Happy miles

Howzit bro,

Had my supercharger clutch replaced a couple months ago and yes it is separate.

Hope that helps.
Could possibly be that due to the clutch failure and the car being driven, it has then caused the supercharger to fail.

Hi, your mechanic might have dropped something on the supercharger blade and causing this noise as you said it did not have a noise before.

And to what i know a water pump comes with a clutch unit together from VW. Unless if GW sells this separately. Thanks
