2.0PD Turbo

Hi All,

Took my Octavia down to the dealer yesterday to pick up some coolant and get my spare key programmed as when the BCM was replaced they forgot to tell me to bring the spare key.

Anyway I get on well with the tech there and his passing comment was that the turbo was noisy (whistling) which I have noticed myself.

Got the car June 2010 with 13k on the clock at about 15k had it remapped for better mpg & performance, guy that did it I have known for years as has remapped just about everything from Volvo's to Porches so that is not my concern.

At about 42k the turbo failed and I had it replaced under warranty, failed when throttle was full shifting from 4th to 5th complete loss of power and when revved the turbo pipes where collapsing.

Now I'm at 78k with the turbo as noisy as ever so are these stock turbo's just complete crap or what?

Going back to my remap it's never been on a rolling road so don't know it's actual output but I don't believe it's got any more than a diesel vrs, do we know if the same parts are used for the engine ancillaries (clutch, flywheel, turbo)?

Cheers

Nick
