F*cking stupid car.

Came out to it this morning and all the ******* windows where down.

I don't know how I kept hold of the unlock because I locked it and left my keys on the side until I went to bed.

What a stupid feature.

I think my turbo in my 2.0tdi 140 has just given up the ghost!! Not a happy bunny. Loud bang followed by loss of power. No warning lights on and engine is still running, just very poorly.

No idea mate. My girlfriends Corse VXR went and that was £600 but that included labour. So depends on what you actually need. She needed new turbo plus oil had gotten into the head of the engine. So that also needed cleaned too lol. I couldn't help but laugh at her. Then I remembered I had to pay

I just had a new throttle body put on mine. The part cost me 300 but a mate fitted it for me for 10 so not too bad lol

Check to see if your hoses are ok ok one might have popped off. Re price if it is turbo your looking at 1200-1500 at main dealer price with a new turbo. And prob no less than 700 8f you got a recon unit and went to an independent garage. all depends on what damage the turno has done to the engine etc as some send shards into engine , intercooler , hoses and everything so do thiusands of pounds worth of damage. Engine may just need a proper flush to ensure there are no tiny fragments of turbine, otherwise they will blow the new turbo when fitted.

Just seen this message after the best possible outcome! It was a pipe that had popped off! £15 at my local garage to find the fault and put it right! That's a relief!
Thanks.

Hopefully it wont pop off again but bare it in mind for a while when flooring it as sometimes they keep doing it
