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

Contact these people with your VIN and they will tell you what is available for your specific vehicle, genuine Skoda, OE and aftermarket

If actuator is available seperately it will be about €200, however a complete turbo is not that expensive for the genuine Skoda part at €418 or €571

Let them check your VIN to ensure correct parts.

 

You will probably also need a new gasket set if you change the Turbo.
