Best guess would be check the timing on it cause they are real bad for having failed tensioners that cause pistons and valves to hit. There is a remanufactured part to replace the original design. Should do this regardless cause it's a 3500 dollar repair and it will happen

    My Passat is making a loud whistling sound. Could it be the Turbo? It makes the sound after I cut it off until the turbo shuts down.
