Hi everyone, long time reader first time posting,
Basically I have had an intermittent fault on my 2007 A3 since I purchased it, it can go a week without faulting but when it does I either have no boost, only boost past 2500 revs and sometimes it just goes into limp mode and it feels like a tractor when idling.
It has had an innotec turbo clean plus an egr clean, after that it had a turbo revive kit recommended to me along with vacuum pump, the vehicle still faults. Also just had the DPF checked and only has 21% soot accumulation so the time has come to invest in a remanufactured turbo.
So I am wondering if anyone can recommend a good place to get a reman turbo? There ares some on eBay floating around for £225-£250 with 12 months warranty (all have a surcharge and my turbo needs to be sent to them) but I don't know how much I can trust them, My local motorserv want£650 +.
If any of you have bought a turbo and can recommend or suggest a reliable place that I can get one from i would really appreciate it.
Many Thanks
Dario :)
