How many miles has the engine done? It's quite young to blow a turbo. Also has it been tuned? I have the same engine 150 bhp version on a 2017 plate, hence why I'd like to be aware.

Ah the famous 100k. Even back when I tuned my 52 plate 130 TDI sport Ibiza there were often people needing to change turbos at around that mileage after tuning. Many recommended changing at or near 100k. How has the clutch held up and what mileage was it when tuned? No tuning on mine and don't drive hard very often. Fact is there is normally too much traffic to even try. Mine has only done just over 20k.

The clutch is fine and it was mapped by the previous owner 2 year ago so probably been thrashed lol I have her booked in for a new turbo so hopefully be back on the road soon ?
