Had the EPC light coming on randomly over the past few months on cold starts, always fine after warming up and restarting but now the check engine light also came on so I took it to get diagnosed at a local place. They have told me the turbo actuator is sticking and they need to replace the entire turbo. £2500 for an official SEAT one or £1900 for an aftermarket one.
I called a SEAT dealer near me to see if they could do just the actuator but they said it has to be the whole unit too, £2600 with them.
The car drives completely fine most of the time, and when it does get the EPC light and loses power (seemingly like the turbo is disabled) it works fine after restarting it after like 5 minutes of driving. So I'm hesitant to spend this much money but obviously I want it all working properly.
Any advice? Can anyone replace just the actuator? Official vs aftermarket? Any advice appreciated.
