| I own a 2005 vw jetta tdi. at approx. 60,000 miles the check engine light came on and i have replaced the same flap motor 3 times and it has failed again. i have also changed the thermostat, cooling kit, sensor, and it comes back as a flap motor failure. has vw had a problem with intake flap motors on the turbo diesel motors?. vw will not do anything to help with this situation. *tr | |||
