Turbo exploded
« on: 26 August 2009, 15:01 »
So the other day the Turbo on my MKV went, Had it back to VW, They say the turbo failed, And all the oil has pissed into the engine. No Oil was visable on the dipstick, How likely is it that this is going to have caused my engine to be fked also? :rolleyes:

what caused the turbo to fail??

did you drive it after it failed as chances are you're ruined your cat and exhaust if you drove it for a length of time

Im not sure what caused it to fail. However the car couldn't be driven straight after as the oil caused to much pressure in the engine and the engine wouldn't even tick over. Needed recovery   :shocked:

Presumably that is for a base engine, turbo, including labour and VAT?

Phone round some good indys, the $tealers will be fleecing you for about £80 an hour for labour.

At a guess, it must be circa £5K for the engine and turbo from VW (parts only).

What is the age mileage and how far out of warranty is it? Might be worth asking for a goodwill contribution from VW if it's got full history etc etc.
