Is there anything I should be looking out for? I have heard a couple of people say that the turbo needs to be replaced after 100kms? Any advice will be great Thanks   Chris Browne (Chris_browne) Member Username: Chris_browne Post Number: 205 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Saturday, July 05, 2003 - 04:29 pm:    Biggest problem with this question is that most of the people on this list are based in the USA and therefore stuck with petrol/gas V8s.... That said, turbos going after 100Km or 62 miles doesn't sound right to me.   Alan Yim (Alan) Senior Member Username: Alan Post Number: 629 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Saturday, July 05, 2003 - 05:30 pm:    Wait long enough and a few of the guys with TDI Discos may chime in. There's a few of them that visit this board from time to time.   michael burt (Mikeyb) Senior Member Username: Mikeyb Post Number: 329 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Saturday, July 05, 2003 - 05:55 pm:    dont worry, chris... i got it... ;)   C Newman (Cnewman) New Member Username: Cnewman Post Number: 6 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Saturday, July 05, 2003 - 11:02 pm:    Another question..
