1.6 tdi blown turbo..upgrades?

[greypolo9n3]

Had a weak turbo on my 1.6 tdi and without realising that had it remapped and the turbo gave way yesterday

are there any upgrades availible? or does a 2.0 tdi 140/170 fit?

You'll have to get one suitable for the newer common rail diesels as the old 2.0tdis are PD diesels

Is there no warranty on the car?

Have a look at this thread, it goes into detail about the turbos used on these http://www.uk-polos.net/view ... 5&start=15

How many miles had the car done when it went?

Ah right, mines has a few bad sensors too but in the exhaust.

I agree with the more poke, after 3k it doesn't really feel like there is much power as lower down in the range.

mine actually moves pretty good through the 2nd and 3rd...its when it gets to 4th around 60+mph its slow as shiz for some reason
