Year of Manufacture *: 54 plate
Engine Size and Code *: 3.0 V6
( Optional ) Scanner Used: Vag-Com (Full)
( Optional) Fault Codes: none
Sometimes "Glow plug" light comes on when driving.
Not seen the fault myself. Nor are there any fault codes stored.
Audi has apparently suggested that it is a turbo fault (Sticking Variable vane mechanism I would imagine, which is credible though I am not yet ready to change a one grand component on the basis of an educated guess) and have quoted him a grand for a new turbo (which seems about right) and over a grand for fitting!
Now, "Autodata" suggests about 3 hrs for the job and although I have only given it a cursory examination it doesn't look, in principle, to be too bad a job but am I missing something?? Why would Audi be quoting so much to do the replacement??
If anybody has had experience of turbo faults and replacement on these and has any words of wisdom to offer (Even if it is just "Run Away") I would be grateful.
