Left the car into the garage for a camshaft seal to be fitted a d some ate blue brake fluid, got 200 metres down the road and noticed a big puff of white smoke out the back, pulled into a petrol station 1-2 miles down the road and let it heat up. Thought that some oil went changing the seal might be burning away etc. pulled out of the station and smoked billowed out the back as soon as it got near 3k revs. Back into the garage and confirmed a blown turbo!
Sound lads in the garage sourced a brand new turbo for less than the cost of a reconditioned one.
Is a blown turbo on a S3 becoming more common nowadays with the cars becoming older.
Anything else worth doing whilst getting this work done, like water, fuel pumps etc
