    RS2 turbo rebuild recommendations

    Brand new rs2 turbo from germany now just a month under 2 years old and I am getting the dreaded smoke on idle after a run.No smoke any other time.Looks like the turbo oil seals a going.
    Need someone to suggest a good place to have it repaired.
    Really not pleased with this will continue to email the company to see if its still covered under warranty
    Really hate my car at the mo too:corey:

    You could send it to my mate Ben at the turbo unit he will look after you .

    He also just rebuilt the turbo on the urquattro that car sos have just restored .

    If you send it let me know and I will tell him to look after you .

        If you are running the stock PCV system I would give that a thorough inspection first, cleaning the flame trap and possibly consider replacing the big black valve if its original or elderly!

              i would probably check something other than the turbo itself first unless you're driving 100,000kms/year.
              i would start by looking the PCV system, pulled off everything and have them cleaned up.normally,if turbo
              seals are shot.it's usually on exhaust side due to much higher temp than compresor side.I would remove the DP and
              see any clues of oil left there behind the exhaust housing.if Not,I'm positive it's not turbo.
