| New Turbo....... Hi All After commenting that my car making strange noise under acceleration, it appears i need a new Turbo on my Mk1 vRS which i have only had 6 months.  Thankfully, i have a few months left on the vehicle warranty, so wont cost me anything. (at last i can justify paying that bit extra for the newer car!)  Guess i am just looking to see what i should be wary of, having had a new turbo put in the car? Also, out of curiosity, how much would this have cost if my warranty had expired?! Cheers G |

| Re: New Turbo....... Well my turbo alone came in at £521.47+vat and fitting.I don't know how much fitting was as the the previous owner had a little more work done at the same time  . The turbo is an exchange item meaning you get a new one and they recycle the old one.

HOW OLDS UR CAR/MILES ? I WOULD CHANGE MY OIL UNLESS THAT GETS DONE WITH TURBO, AND AS LONG AS YOU TAKE IT EASY FOR A GOOD FEW MILES YOU SHOULD BE OK. JUST REMEMBER TO WARM UP AND COOL DOWN, IF YOU DONT ALL READY. I WOULD IMAGINE COST WOULD BE AROUND £1000 WITH FITTING NOT SURE, JUST HOPE I DONT HAVE TO PAY IT, THANK GOD FOR YOUR WARRANTY. | |

| Re: New Turbo....... I bought it with 19k on it,m added 5k so far. Always warmed up and let it cool down, so assume previous owner booted it heck of a lot!! am bit wary that it went after 25k, but sure just paranoia!! |

| Re: New Turbo....... That does seem early for a turbo. Turbo Oil pickup pipes can become blocked and starve the turbo of oil,just keep it well serviced.

| Re: New Turbo....... Are you sure it's not a split hose? If it is the turbo it will be the perfect time to upgrade to a bigger one

| Re: New Turbo....... agreed! apparently it was a loose bearing, so they replaced the whole thing! thank goodness for warranties! doesnt seem typical of anything more serious, hopefully just an isolated mishap!! |

Hi can i just ask what was the noise your car made. What did it sound like? I have a vrs that sounds noisy. Kinda like air traveling though a metal pipe/soft grinding. Have also noticed that the dump valve sound noticably louder too. I'm praying to God that it's a split pipe. Just spent £400 on tyres and the cars 3 months out of warranty. | |

| Re: New Turbo....... did not sound like that to be honest, was a very metallic whirring noise when the turbo picked up, and on start up. stopped when didnt accelerate etc. turned out it was not the turbo but a blown manifold gasket see a thread "Not a new turbo...." posted a few days a go giving an update. mine was under warranty but repairing the gasket cos them about a fiver according to copy of work done i insisted on getting a copy of. fingers crossed for you! |
