Blown turbos - how much

Post by Loggie » Mon Dec 24, 2007 4:33 pm

The RAC man that rescued me yesterday says that I have blown one or both turbos. :(

Anyone had these replaced? How much ?

This is the last thing I need.

I'll be selling some refurbed ones in a few weeks (when they are back from the refurb company) if you are interested.

It may have been a woman that said it originally, but labour hurts! You're looking at an engine pull, and it's not cheap. Add the fluids, etc. and you won't be seeing change back from £3k!

I'll also point out that I had to pay £1050 to refurb mine which were in better condition than the ones being sold on eBay.
