    You can buy a turbo at a breakers yard for reasonable money.

    Not something you'd do if you plan on keeping the car though...

    And it can go on you the day after you fit it. A false economy.

    Buying a reconditioned turbo is the way to go, most even come with some sort of guarantee.

    Turbo problems on these are common if the correct grade of oil was'nt used or
    if the service intervals were pushed out.
    Its not just a matter of just fitting a turbo to these engines...there is a list of work/cleaning to be carried out before the new turbo is fitted...otherwise a new turbo will fail within a few hours...:eek:

    Has the turbo actually failed...?

    Never heard of a turbo on the way out they usually fail and you'll see a quick way to check it in this youtube clip..

    It could also be vacuum related..split vac hose/faulty control solenoid etc.

    In our place on average with one of these it costs around €950 supply and fit for a recon unit. The turbo swap itself is about the easiest of any car but as Row says there is a lot more to it than that so be wary of any cheap quotes you get for replacing the turbo if you hope to only have to do it once.

    I agree that a recon or new unit is the way to go. However, as an aside you will have extreme difficulty trying to get repeat turbo failure covered under warranty on one of these. As most people know the same engine is used in Fords and I know they will only guarantee the turbo if a brand new engine is fitted at the same time as the new turbo :eek:
