My Mk5 Jetta TDI
Sjw_Vw:
Quick update - The Jetta was bought home last night ready to be fixed by my mechanic over the next 2 weeks.
Getting my turbo from Midlands Turbo. Don't know whether I'm getting mine repaired or a new unit as of yet until I found out why it failed.
Andy:
Good to hear it's on its way to been back on the road
Sjw_Vw:
So my turbo is now at Midlands Turbo being repaired. Turns our it died because of 'overspeed'. My mechanic will be checking my intercooler, all boost pipes & boost control valve (I think that's what it's called). Then it should be back on my Jetta on Wednesday along with all the other parts it needs.
I could potentially have it back and be driving it by Wednesday night! So unbelievably excited! I'll post as & when I get it back
doylebros:
A word of warning, I would be fitting a new oil feed pipe when you rebuild it as its common for the existing oil feed pipe to be choked internally (on the bend) causing reduced flow and premiture failure of the replacement turbo.

@doylebros - Thanks, I'll let my mechanic know :)
