    Best place to buy turbo for A3 diesel??

    My friend's turbo is dead in her A3 TDI. Unfortunately the shaft has broken

    Where can I get a decent quality recon or "remanufactured" turbo from for it? I'm a bit worried after recent purchases of poor quality pattern parts.. There's a few on the 'Bay at around the 300 quid mark

        Tell him to check it for boost leaks, every TDI I've seen leaked everywhere,
        could well be the cause of the turbo failing due to it over spooling trying to
        make boost with a leak.

                      Hey John!


                      Hope you are well


                      I got one off eBay, from a seller called nerings, it's a Latvian based company with a uk warehouse, it cost me 380.00 and he gave me another 75pounds back and arranged collection for the turbo. It was for an e39. 530d. They sell a lot of turbos and seem to know what they are doing. Turbo is ok 3k miles on it since fitted!

                      Their website is nerings.lv

                      If you use quidco on the eBay purchase u will also save another 20pounds or so!

                      Hope that helps!
