So my turbo has gone or is almost gone after 4 months ownership of my pride and joy.
I am still tempted to just sell it as 'S3 FOR SALE requires new turbo' but I haven't had long enough to enjoy it properly so decided to fork out to get it back to full health.
So, I took her to Glasgow Audi after noticing the car smoking when warm ideling. And they have diagnosed that i need a new turbo and a new Oil feed pipe.
They quoted me £1500 all-in.
I cannot afford this sort of money and frankly I don't think it's worth it.
I am looking for a safe and reputable garage to use in the Glasgow or central belt area for the repair work.
Please do not post the name of a place if it's your mates - I need a reliable place that has had good feedback from members on here.
I have had a quote from VW Audi repair centre in Clydebank who seem to get good reports
They quoted £650 inc VAT.
If anyone can help, please, please, get in touch. I am an S3 owner in distress.
I'm still tempted to sell it including the recon turbo if I can't get cheaper than the above quote.
Cheers,
Andy
