Thanks I have written to them

I have a 2013 MKIII Octavia 1.4 TSI 140HP where I have problems with the turbo And from what they said in the Skoda repair shop its my "Turbo regulator arm" that is getting stuck and I think it might be the problem discussed here. And they said they would need to replace the turbo completely to fix it as no spare parts are available to solve this problem (Which seems crazy wasteful) and that would cost about 1000 € for a none-OEM and almost 1800 € for an original + labor, so another 50-70€ per hour as well Is buying an Ebay one like this one as good as new or should I go some other route? https://www.ebay.de/itm/NEU-Turbolader-turbocharger-VW-Audi-Seat-Skoda-1-4-TSI-04E145704P-ORIGINAL/152906072431?fits=Type%3A1.4+TSI&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item2399e9816f:g:QzoAAOSwEhNdJ19g&enc=AQAFAAACcBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%2Fn%2BzU5L90Z278x5ickkxGz2ccqatkEnoeekHqhLkW94JN10C%2F3OFceTlS1N5eX2IhqzeVv7ToUjtrBVffak5TwcK3O4cLc1KpdpV6kyUIgTsUqWmG%2Bbz2Ua4%2FbOJJpPq8SHrudBTHrcnRcSaKvyaxUdXqWYOXWfIsq4sRcp04u2hF1ROLAoMCk4kKvXOlhTC6C7YPu1LXldBH41OEtu%2FJH7b8ny5aepAmp2Cu%2BtuPkw6k9gAX0MTSdUVMbG2TrECwB%2FEWapYg58yGP3obXrU2Px%2FiXcMh8ssbGzHjCLsBvpWxcdZkUhIuAJntblOoyMhY%2FT04MlCFPaTLX5QMf9G8G4pv9SfolA4diQj1G43bYuG9OAQKHxznpPK%2FNbaTM%2FA66Dqw0aPTYU8SpBoytO46UlG2cmRDlh8veMrCEIrmtuIgFbyyZjmA2astMDNVuA2bvJxwCuF8L6eecxqU9Rb%2FH59RL1cNCWrXlw4CmDpoXDu0GSwuJhXZG0IBfa9ffxdNXECQhajEzGTESj8JZfmnwrNzYvBIj%2B%2FleKg8VfflvY8uArNMGTacBFV%2BH7uqVr%2Bx6NJt0e2jnSi8ime0SaYUA4uPI3cd9ZAVEg8AHiZMmQjGcqAqzxh%2BxAy6mUOrYVGKobB6sBECwWaI%2FvSMR8IX9zLigHH0NIHJW8bZeeA4zvPHSsPrJQdCoCL9NrP4lGU3y%2FAO0og75x25uVcnyk8VY%2BW6H9fwTA2qKogU8xqI9U7O0Dt%2B0xs8MRO5oSsjQGNxRCy2QdU5spj1xITsz8H2IvccZ64HvPWxuWRLBMpA%3D%3D&checksum=15290607243188d1beae9a3a4e08a6ec907c2e2b93e2 This is in Denmark, so that might affect prices

I am looking to buy a 2018 model which have the Amundsen Navigation but no digital cockpit (Not sure if thats needed)

I have a 2013 MKIII 1.4 and today from one day to the other my fuel cap is completely stuck, I have tried pressing it a hundred times, tried carefully to pry it open, lock and unlock the doors etc Is there any tricks to opening it and maybe fixing it myself or do I need to go to repairshop Also is there a way to emergency open it?
