    Turbo, turbo and turbo!

    They go around the 100,000 mark. If it wasn't replaced recently with proof, budget for it ;)

    that doesn't sound good!

    your man wants 4,750euro, might take 4,500 at a push

    Once these engines are serviced well with the correct grade of oil (5w 30 fully syn) used they should be fine...:)
    Its critical to service these on the button or even better before the
    recommended 12k mls.....if it was well service and has a S/history it should be fine.
    if there not serviced on time sludge builds up in the engines and causes the turbo feed pipe to block inturn a failed turbo..:eek:

    I've seem them with service history, and I've seen them less than 2 years old with turbos gone (albeit bigger mileage.)

    With the way the Irish mind their cars, these Focii and Peugeots will be causes alot of hassle in years to come.

    this was incredibly clean and the timing belt was done and has full DOE but to be honest I haven't heard any good reports so far!

    Oh don't get me wrong they're a nice van and a good engine when they're going, I'm just using scaretactics to make sure you realise there's a possibility of the turbo going, so's that if it did happen you wouldn't come back in here complaining :)
