Popular engine the 1.9. Some good power can be had from them too.
Place in stokesley and one in darlo. Revo tuning is one can't remember the other

 

Google trade part services or tps they are vw own parts department. They are all over the country as well.

 

is the a model of the turbo , aka like a t3 ect ?

 

No mate There are many different sizes for eg k03s or a k04 best bet is to find out the engine code and google it to find the right size turbo.

 

Can you not get the damaged turbo sent off to one of the specialists turbo companys for repair ?

 

rosco , aint seen it yet , but there saying its fucked and half a turbine missing ,


plenty of turbos on the bay , around the 350 mark ,


just worried there cheap cast replacements and fall to bits 1000 mile down the line ,

if you have the PD engine it will be a garrett unit with variable vain. They are prone of breaking if not serviced correctly. If a new unit is fitted you will have to change the oil pipes as most suppliers will not supply the turbo unless you order the pipes. To be honest I have changeed loads of these when I worked at Seat in Darlo. I would try avoid 2nd hand ones. Hope this shed a bit of light on some thing.

 

cheers fella,


anywhere you would recommend for a replacement ?

 

Try turbosolutions on darlo. They shut be able to sort something out for it

 

Changed loads of these beefy when i worked at vw best bet is to get a recon one from somewhere like midland turbo they are the exact same units as supplied by vag but half the price and come with a two year warranty iirc. Also if the shaft has snapped the chances are the exhaust is full of oil along with the intercooler.My advise is to remove the intercooler and all boost hoses jet wash them all because if you leave them fit the new turbo and start it up they run on there own oil and the engine will go kaboom.As for the exhaust if its full of oil replace it.

 

what engine code?

 

There is a place in Stoke that will do you one for Ł300 exchange on a re-con unit.

Other than that it is take your chance on eBay, looking at Ł100 - Ł250 second hand.

I think it is a GT1749, but a different one to the 2.0 one, so check when buying. Your turbo will have a 9 digit number on it probably starting with a 3xx xxx xxx.

I might be wrong as I only know for sure for the 2.0 but I've looked at a lot of turbos for sale and noticed the GT1749 goes on the 1.9 as well as the 2.0

 

And +1 for buying re-con over 2nd hand and also getting new oil pipes.

 

why are new pipes needed?

 

I can't tell you the technical reason why, but they seem to leak a lot after you change the turbo.... from first hand experience

 

As said likely to be a GT1749v. the part numbers are different depending on age so you many need to get it off it. They all start with 0 if i remember right. Never changed the lines on the one I did just flushed them out was on a sharan. Had a few turbos from AET at resonable price

 

Sorry mate they dont make a highline on a 02 plate they come 04 onwords pal

 

Just out of interest, what is different on a highline?

krypton - you are right I think actually about the numbers, they start 03x, so I was kind of right

 

not true, iv had a o2 bora highline, matehas 01 highline aswel

 

highline is trim level (top of the range)

 

Put the pics up then becouse im after one and havent seen one earlier then 04?

 

Try C R Turbos, very good IMO

 

http://www.bradfordonline.co.uk/info/7998/ These guys have been good to me in the past

 

thanks guys ,

going to see if we can get the turbo off this week


bros a bit of an impatient fucker lol




may be mine by the end of next week lol

 

if he's selling pm me

 

andy , if hes selling




im buying !!!

 

Just get a recon turbo, bloody flying machines after a remap

 

Very good cars but as said don't go buy what the sticker says in the boot as mine says high line and mine is only a sport

 

Like I said only seen them 04 onwords and they come with them hock type wheels and heated leathers cd player choice either rear center headrest or armrest oh and parking sensors and the highline is actoully comes with a se suspension as are the rear lights of an se as std lol.Basically a cross between a sport and se and st.

 

Bit of advice mate of mines got a bora 150 tdi and he used castrol edge oil twice service intervals it had a nocking noise as if the bottom ends was gone had it checked from vw turned out to be a nackered cam with a hole in on of the followers cost him Ł400 pounds from a local garage so NEVER USE CASTROL EDG OIL IN A PD ENGINE alwas use vw oil better of as he found out lol.

 

oh yeah apparently its common on the 130s the turbo viens get bloked hence turbo shitting itself lol.
