hi evryone , hope someone can advise , just got my golf back from garage and looks like i have an internal oil leak as my oil warning light has been on for a while even when i topped up the oil. im loosing oil and apartly its in my turbo. Is it worth getting a new trubo for a 2001 golf with only 72000 on the clock or get a recon turbo?? also any ideas wheres the best place to get one that someone would recomend near dorset?? have tried searching forum no luck. thanks

It all depends on the condition really, but even then, that isn't a good way to tell, there are a fair few people on this forum that have bought a second hand turbo, and it's been fine, then 2 months down the line it goes, then there are also others who have bought a second hand turbo and it's been fine for the rest of their golf's lifetime.
So really it's up to you, and how much you want to spend, but ideally just buy a cheap turbo then just get it reconditioned

just get yours reconditioned be about £250 ish (if its a K03s)

I have a genuine K03s unit that has done less than 10k mint condition including lines in the for sale section on here
