Turbo (well Noe An Ex-turbo

[muppetofdoom]

Hi there you lovely peeps,

my '98 galaxy 1.9Tdi ghia x has just decided the turbo was no longer needed and rejected it's existance. There was a lot of smoke and i mean a lot !!!!!!, so far garage seem to think it's just the turbo (fingers crossed while they're still digging). I was hoping some of you wonderful people could give me a rough price for either a new turbo or getting the old one refurbed and refitted, and also if using a refurb is ok ?

many thanks in advance, from a crying man who doesn't want to see his poorly motor die, and i can't afford a replacent motor anyway :ph34r:

Garrat and borg warner do not sell spares, i am told, so refurbs are done with copy parts, yes they have a warranty but do you want to do it again in 3 weeks time?.

 

I got my new one from Midland Turbos overnight, and a price of about 40% of a dealer supplied turbo. Depending on model/engine they are about
