Hi Guys,

Didn't know about this forum...cooool.

I have a query. I drive a 2001 Bora TDI 100BHP. Up until recently it has driven fine. However, when I was pulling away from a standstill and approached 2500-3000 revs..not really thrashing...the Turbo seemed to throttle back and there was a slight lack of power. Now the Turbo has given up altogether..well it feels like it has. My questions are :

Does this sound like a broken turbo to anyone ?

Has anyone else had this experience?

Is this a typical lifespan for a turbo?....eeeekkk hope not.

Does anyone know of a turbo supplier/fitter near Bexleyheath/Dartford/Crayford (In North Kent) ?

Does anyone know what sort of money this will cost ? (I've been looking into new turbos and they are scaring the bejesus out of me ....

Many Thanks
Graeme
