Hi all,
My first post so I hope I'm doing it right and giving relevant information.
A few weeks ago the glow plug light started flashing randomly and the engine would drop into limp mode. My local garage diagnosed a carbon build up in the turbo, resulting in sticking vains. They reccomended a clean if not it would need replacing. I went ahead with the clean that worked for all of 2 days... Back with flashing glow plug light and limp mode.
I went to Audi uk and west London audi hoping for a good will gesture.... No such luck. They did diagnose the same fault and stated a need a new turbo.... £1600.
The desiel partial filter light has now come on too.
I've rung around for quotes today, £720 for a re-conditioned turbo, £900 for a hybrid or £1200 for a new turbo fully fitted. Do these prices sound about right??
I am looking to have the car mapped in the future, does the turbo choice now matter??
Can anyone reccomended a turbo specialist in SW London area?
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers Gareth
