uno turbo Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 a big thanks too pele, eureka, martin, and iain for your advice on my smokey car the other day. i took it to a main dealer yesterday, and too your credit pele, you diagnosis was spot on. they told me my turbo was starting to go, and the seels too. so ive opted to have a new one fitted tomorrow. i know i should of asked around on here for advice, and people to help me get it fitted, but due to work constraints and other factors, ive had to do it this way. now im not too sure on how much a new turbo costs, but they quoted me £900 plus fitting, but then they said they would give me a 10% discount, and my sidc dicount on top... hows that sound...
m@tt untimate STImulation Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 im nim not to sure but that sounds very dear to my (dont mean to cause you a sweat) but think you can get a refirbished one for a better price than that. just sounds steep but im not an expert and havent replaced one yet

There not called stealers for nothing No way would i pay £900 for a standard turbo, if i was you i would look around for a good second hand turbo, yours hasn't gone yet so you can still drive around for a while until one pops up for sale
Scooby Hoo? Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 I have a TD04 off my 2002 Bugeye which has only covered 11.5k from new, so consequently is like new. Yours for £100 if it helps.
uno turbo Posted May 29, 2009 Author Posted May 29, 2009 thanks for the advice, and the offer of assistance, from everyone, but dropped the car off this morning and they are doing it now. its too late too get it out now. the smoking was getting worse, so ive no idea how much longer it would of lasted. but after this expensive outlay, i will from now on be checking on here more often, for your advice and help, to stop myself from making anymore costly errors, such as this... in the future, i will investigate thing further.. thanks for the support guys.....
