LIfe Expectancy of Turbo in 1.8t?
Hey Everyone,
I'm thinking about buying an '03 a4 1.8t which looks very clean that has 50k miles on it. I was wondering at how many miles can I expect the turbo to go bad? How much does it cost to get rebuilt or replaced when that does happen?
Would you guys recommend an extended warranty from audi?
Thanks in advance.

201K on original K03 turbo, last 75K have been chipped
you just have to take care of them by using quality syn oil, big filters and allowing it to cool down before shutting off the engine.

My 1998 A4 turbo went at about 82k, there was a Service Bulletin for it: NHTSA Item Number: 603131, TURBOCHARGER, FAILURE DUE TO LACK OF LUBRICATION. No recall though. The new one has about 96k on it.
