Hi all,
Just thought I would ask all you people in the know what should I pay for a k03s with 140k on it? Would it make sense to buy something with that kind of mileage on it or Should I just keep looking? It's replacing the k03 on my AGU so am correct in saying that apart from the turbo I just need the TIP to fit it?
Cheers Jim

Errr thats a lot of miles matey!
Really depends if he is willing to give you garantee on it plus labour if its goes tis up!
Usually second hand units are alot less miles, as the engine blew up or it was a crash accident.
I would question why was it taken off at 140Kmmmmmm :undecided:
Unless you know what the viens are like internally and the bearings and shafts are in good order its just scrap value!
But on the other hand it might be alright and cheap? :evil:
For a good one people have paid about £180-£250 but like I said you could pay more or less and still have it blow up!

personally if it was me ide be looking for one with alot less milage on, but thats just me, as said it could be fine and have loads of life still left in, unless you know the condition of the internals theres no way of telling.

Thanks for the info guys he was wanting a £150, think I will keep looking, I'm in no hurry as my k03 is still going strong, was just thinking about getting a k03s fitted before getting a remap rather than remapping then in a wee while fancying a k03s and having to fork out for another remap lol
