A new turbo for my last Golf (140 GT TDi Sport) cost £1100 from Hawco Volkswagen! Though you can pick up reconditioned ones for alot cheaper!!

Ouch £1100? I havent heard any siren noises or anything like that, around what mileage are they usually expected to go? I'll hopefully be taking her in for a service at the dealers soon, is it something they can look for during the service and check for me?

Thanks
It as a sore one ! The bill ended up being just over 3k!!!

It's one of the reasons I want rid Robbin. I've always believed diesels
To be uber reliable, but the both I've bought for work have been lemons. I'm gonna go v6 or Gti soon

....V6 is a great sound  :happy2: Our 2.0T FSI 4-pot sound can be greatly improved with a performance aftermarket exhaust.

You'll need to change your "Go diesel" sig!  :evilgrin:

Shame about the mk5 TDIs, the mk4s TDI can easy see over 120k on the stock turbos, even with hard abuse and maxed out.
