spence_star said:Guys, how long does a turbo last for before replacement? lets say a 1.8t with 90k miles and more. Do they die after or around 100k or do they never die?
spence_star said:exellent feedback guys, thats standard anyway, let the engine tick over for about 2 to 3 mins before setting off and before switching off. When u go for a service at a specialist i am sure they service the turbo anyway.
Im definatly after one now, just need to find a well looked after one, preferbly owned by a granny. Fat chance.
