Turbo Clinic ltd LEEDS- anyone used them?/ repair of existing turbo

[james26695]

Just been and had my turbo problem diagnosed with the Turbo clinic in Leeds, -quoted £730 all in for = removal of my turbo in their garage, repair/ recondition of faulty parts in it, intercooler removed and cleaned of oil, oil and filter change. all put back together with 12 month warrenty, all labour and VAT.
Does this seem like a fair deal? They quoted £350 for the repair of the turbo ...maybe seems a bit steep but tempted to go with them as they do this type of turbo work every day and its quick n convenient....
so the question is has anyone used these guys or someone similar for their own turbo repaired/ reconditioned for this kind of price? cheers

Doesnt sound too bad seeing as their cleaning pipes and changing oil too. what was the symptoms of your turbo problem?

dunno if they r cleaning pipes but they said they would have to remove the intercooler and clean oil out of it. for the£350 they would just be replacing any damaged components and reconditioning/ cleaning /polishing the other clogged/dirty bits..dunno if thats a good price or not? my symptoms are air backing up through the air box/filter... a noise/slight holding back/jerk sometimes on acceleration, a noise sometimes after letting off on the gas, also turbo lag/limp mode. i took it to them and they did a diagnosis but it was all jargon to me and cant really remember all the technical stuff they told me/showed me.

is that price just for the rebuild of the turbo alone? or including fitting , oil change ?

just a rebuild mate , nothing else. considering you can buy a new ko3s for £550 + vat from Backdraft Motosport (sponsor on here) i thought it was too expensive.
