[fozzie-foster]

Hi guys....could someone please confirm that this is the K03s i need for my car http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=ADME%3AB%3AAAQ%3AUK%3A1&viewitem=&item=330137299955&rd=1

It's the same link Peachey posted on another thread a few days ago....i'm desperate to buy it but not till i've had confimation it's the correct one because i've already been down the road of buyin the wrong Turbo and lost money on it lol!!

Thanx in advance guys

I believe it is the Right one!

But fukking expensive

 

[Beaker™]

Too right, get over to ukmkIVs forum, they go for about £150.

 

[fozzie-foster]

Do you not think it's worth it because it's brand new??

 

[richieroo]

i saw that one earlier but thought it was a lil pricey!

Depends if you want a new one. 2nd hand ones can be just fine.

 

[nogutsnoglory]

jees! dont pay that much

 

[fozzie-foster]

Ok lads thanx for the advice....i'll hold out for a lil while and try find a decent 2nd hand one!!
If all else fails tho i'm gonna have to fork out for the new one

i got a reconditioned one for about £150 sometime ago, there was no issues with it at all

i sold my ibiza, but my friend had all the same work done and he still has his ibiza, and the turbo is still going very strong

 

[Black TDI Turbo]

i got mine for £175 with less than 5000miles on it, keep searching mate

 

[ian_cupra]

got brand new one for £350, with internals uprated!

there some cheap ones out there, just keep looking!

 

[p34ch3y]

ian cupra where did you get that from m8?

 

[ian_cupra]

a guy on ukmkIV's, he runs in the vw cup.
he got another new k03s, for £350, but its just a standard one

 

[BillyWhizz]

Rip off! though better than the 1k quoted from the stealers

Try ebay.com as well, I got mine from the US for £85 because of the exchange rate just watch for import tax.

was that brand new olly?

 

[Olly20VT]

no but low milage, there might be new ones aswell, it's worth a look.

 

[cuprabaz]

Paid £150 for mine. It came with cracks in the exhaust side when i put it on over two years ago and it's still going strong!!

 

[BillyWhizz]

£495 is allot of cash, but the more and more i look at the one on EBay UK, the more it gets tempting to buy it.

I searched the US and couldn't find anything, unlucky i guess.

I will find out tomorrow if my Turbo or the actuator has gone, maybe both ;-).

I have to get it reverted back to standard map at lunchtime so as the main dealer are able to use their "VAG diagnosis for idiots guide" to diagnose the problem. Finger crossed it means a new turbo.

Has anyone used one of those 1.8t Actuators from Forge???

 

[cuprabaz]

They won't tell you it's actuator they'll just tell you it's the turbo. Any turbo related probs and they'll advise you to replace it - scamming bast*rds!
