Turbo charger suppliers anyone
Have finally got round to stripping bingo to see where my water leak was from. Trouble is in stripping everything off you get to have a good look at things, turbocharger has lateral movement to the point where the blades catch the housing. Does anyone know where I can get a new or reconditioned one near Peterborough.
Thanks all

Thanks Dave, I'll give him a ring tomorrow, I'm really wanting to buy new but a good second hand one would do then I could get mine re-conditioned.
Thanks again

Hi Simon, yeah saw that but that's a little over where I want to be, I'm hoping for a recon or service exchange, failing that I might have to bite the bullet. I think the injectors may cost me £150-200 so an expensive water leak this.

I think I would go for a used one from George (for example) with a warranty in case it happens to be a dud. The £325 one is probably a cheap Chinese part which may not be made to the same standards as an original. I would guess to get a reconditioned one you be looking somewhere around £250 - £300 and yours make not be in a serviceable condition to be taken as exchange.

Or is that slang for the phone forgotten now?
Re: Turbo charger suppliers anyone
Well George it is for the turbo, arriving tomorrow, cheapest I could find was £250 for a recondition, or £420 for new . I can buy a seal and bearing kit and recon my own for £38. Injectors are at a little place in Peterborough, but it looks like £50 quid each.

Re: Turbo charger suppliers anyone
My garage said that the bongo needs a new turbo today, and I am struggling to find a reconditioned one that looks like mine. I have an 02 2.5diesel. All the reconditioned turbos seem to have a wastegate actuator fitted horizontally. This seems to be the older style looking at lush. My current set up has the actuator running vertically (also verified this on lush) but I can’t find any like that on the web.
Turbo spec VJ290202
Serial number 27-458D
Parts number WLF8
The garage also said it would need a new heat deflector (the one that covers the turbo) - any idea where I can get one of those?
This is to solve a wastegate actuator code - they pressure tested the actuator and said it was shot but I wonder if the wastegate/intercooler bit is the broken bit not the whole turbo?
