Hello keltronic Gaz

Hello firecarp Gaz

Not sure what you mean by 'these'? G

Hello Abdul That's a 3.5 (facelift) you have there - nice colour! Gaz

Hello and welcome Paul I've always fancied a Yeti, just not taken the plunge, yet. Gaz

Hello OOWGO Gaz

Hello Tony, welcome back My Wife wanted a Mini for several years, but I've never really warmed to them. I'd have a Karoq over a Mini all day long. Gaz

Hello Greg Gaz

G'day Peter Gaz

Petrol or diesel - which engine do you have? Is this on a 2018 car? (asking as it's posted in the superb Mk1 Forum, and mentioning 'sport' suggests it's likely a DSG as oppose to a Mk1 automatic). Gaz

Think I might've found a suitable replacement for the Golf: Maybe the house too! 😎 Want one!!! (Wifey not yet convinced ) Gaz

For battery coding: Gaz

Hello ACF Good looking wagon you've got there 😎 Gaz

Hello Clivey Gaz

Shouldn't it have a push-button LW wireless? 😇 Gaz

Yes it can, but not necessarily. You can also get smooth wear on the inner edges from toe out, as well as from component failure (which Rob obviously doesn't have): Gaz

Rob's not attacking the corners hard enough 😁 Drive harder and chew up the outer edges to match the inners 👍 (Or mebbe check the toe-out too) G

Hello Serbar Gaz

Hello and welcome DDS Sounds like you're enjoying it. I've a pano roof, but don't tend to use it in hot weather, relying on the aircon instead to stop me from evaporating. Gaz

If they did an auto/DSG, I'd have one too 😢 G

Me too They've got that je ne sais quoi about them 😎 Gaz

Yes. Only you can decide what to do though. And you won't know unless you ask. A component, potentially non-moving, that should be keeping oil in, has failed. It's what's happened that's the key. If you want 'better than 50% chance', then maybe save yourself the trouble, but I'd want to know what was causing the issue. Taking TheClients point, what if it was a copper washer on a banjo bolt? (one hopes not and that your mechanic would simply fix it, but you get the point). There are plenty of turbo's available, with varying levels of warranty. As per TC, I'd take the service exchange route if it were me - but not before knowing exactly what the problem is, and then deciding next steps. Have you had any work done to the car that might dislodge anything turbo related? Gaz

Certainly does Vehicular euthanasia 😱 😁 G

I don't agree Phil. I think you should push Skoda. Then decide if you want them to do it, or if it'll be more cost effective to use a good indy. If you look at what happened to me, it would have cost me £250. Having had the car remapped (after the warranty expired I might add) was my downfall, as Skoda UK used it as a get-out card (which of course it is). So long as you've not had anything done that would void the warranty, if I were you, I'd be pushing Skoda. I take John's point, turbo's let go, sh 1t happens. I had a B5 Passat that was at 275k and on it's original turbo when I sold it. There are plenty of tales of turbo's lasting a very long time, but there are also those of us who've experience the opposite from time to time. Googling IS20 Turbo longevity/lifespan brings up some very interesting results. Best o'luck with getting it fixed 👍 Gaz
