So the turbo on my 2012 black edition has just gone. No boost and a lot of smoke. Checked the shaft and its rattling from side to side.

Very surprised as I thought the standard turbos were fairly bullet proof, the car has been standard all its life and never mapped.

Where might be the best place (apart from the obvious, the dealer) to get one sharpish?
It looks easy to change so it's just sourcing the unit that I'll need.

TIA.
 
Might be cheaper to send it away to be remanufactured? Mine was leaking oil and ruined the DPF (at only 80k), got sent off and was back within 24 hours, didn't add much to the time the car was away 9DPF was sent off too). Beware the studs, one snapped on mine.
