HELP!! BLOWN TURBO ON MY T5
Hello there, I am in the s##t! My local specialist volvo garage (c.p.motors)want £600.00 + vat for a new turbo for my 1995 t5 est.
Does anyone know where I can get a cheap new one/good used one and fit it myself? Is it a big job? Your ideas please,,,, Thanks, Gus |

Look in the motor magazines there are a lot of turbo specialists about. They will sell you either a refurbished one or a core unit which you can fit to your casing bits. All the best, Peter |

Look in here in the classified section. I think Leigh Davenport (bigbird) is selling a turbo for £100 - not sure thou.

Hi, Try TURBO TECHNICS in Northampton. Never used them but they are reputable turbo guys who can rebuild/ advise etc on your problem. Cheers Nige

Thank's guys.
A big thanks to all who responded.
I got hold of a good used turbo(done 3,000 mls on a written off car)from my local scrappy!!! It's fitted and doing fine. The only trouble now is that I will be eating front tyres!!!! Thanks again. Rob. 850 T5 EST :7 |
