Hi,

Sorry to hear the turbo is playing up! Just interested in how many Km's the turbo/truck has done?

Mine has almost 250K and am hoping for a least a 100K more without too many problems.

Cheers

Sean

it has done 200k which is usual turbo and injector conditioning time i think

First of all, sorry Simon, i forgot to get back to you after doing my timing belt.

I have been told injectors need doing at around 200000k, but not turbos, they should last longer than this.

Second, i have seen a new turbo being sold by someone in the LROC magazines, i think it was around the $2000 mark, they are a fare bit more than this new from a parts dealer. I am not sure about the rebuild costs to have bearings etc done, when you find out i would be interested.
