    Hi VAG-Abound.

    You know your stuff around a car, but I don't. I have to YouTube to change a Headlight bulb Ok, maybe I'm not that bad, but you get the idea! I wouldn't know how to do all the things you did on your car, plus I have no tools whatsoever, so I'm going to have to get someone else to do it for me (I'd love to go to night school and learn some basic mechanics, but I work rolling shifts, so that'll never work out).

    I kept reading about using things like Mr Muscle, Wynn's Turbo Cleaner etc., but I think they are only ever temporary 'fixes', so I'll go with replacing the turbo.

    What made you think that a new turbo was better value than a recon one? I thought recon ones (from proper companies like Essex Turbos and Turbo Technics) were meant to be like brand new, due to all the internals being replaced?

    Cheers,
    Tony.

    It was a somewhat convoluted plan to put new turbo on 1 car, clean up the removed one and put it on a second car, and then have the removed one from the 2nd car left over. I didn't expect to getall that done in the timespan for sending a turbo back as part of the recon deal.

    As it turned out, developing noise on car 2 was DMF not turbo and an intermittent limp on car 2 has also resolved with some spirited driving and excercising acctuator fully with vacuum pump.

    So a simple recon swap may have worked out, but looking at damage to the one I have it would have been high rather than low end of final refurb fee and if I now manage to sell it as is I won't be far off of that cost afterall.
