Turbo dead on A4 2.5TDI
Hi,
It appears that the turbo is dead on my nov-2000 A4 2.5 TDI (I didn't
overrev it or so). It has approx 110k miles on it.
Does anybody know if this is common with these engines?
What's the average life expectancy of a turbo in the 2.5 V6 engine?
What would a replacement be costing?

Why do you think the turbo is dead? If it's just poor performance, there
can be many other causes (N75 valve, air-mass meter, vacuum pipes, brake
lights disconnected (!)) and actual turbo failure is likely to show up
in other ways, often involving smoke and oil loss.

The power is lost after 2500rpm and we've changed and checked already
a lot of things (like air-mass). We'll try another (used) turbo to
make sure whether the turbo is really the cause of the troubles.
There's no oil-leakage or smoke or so.
