Where would the best place to get my turbo refurbed or to get an "as-new" unit to replace my one on my 2005 A3 2.0TDi that now has 150,000 miles on the clock?
I've got a damaged damper that needs replacing and I've been toying with just getting a complete overhaul of the suspension inc bushes too as the car is rough as **** to ride these days - I remember when I first got it how smooth it was.

I too have the 8P 2.0TDi, I get a little more than 500 on a full tank driving on A & B roads and town driving (not city).
Though when I only fill to a half tank - I don't know if it's psychological or weightsaving - but I get about 300miles from the half tank to the 50mi warning/first red...
This is something I'm keeping in mind for the new year - my 8P 140 2.0TDi is already on 140K.. and just for peace of mind... need my belt and water pump changing first!
There is an A - but it really does look like a Y at the end there.
As for the cables - did you mean the corrosion to be on the lead or on the multi connector on the ECU itself?
