just bought a 2004 JETTA TDI/5 SPEED. was told 'noise' at idle and 'whistle' @ speed was a waste-gate needing 'attention'.
ANYONE experienced w/ waste-gate 'issues'? ARE waste-gates 'repairable'?
IF NOT what do 'they' cost?

04 wont have a "wastegate". Should have a vnt turbo which has variable vanes to control boost.
Better get that noise checked out. Pull the top timing belt cover and make sure its not from in there.
Turbo's do whistle a bit, normally.
