Christine Joanna Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I had my oil pressure light on and my.mechanic without checking oil pressure said it was a broken switch and fixed it. My turbo began to make a noise. Mechanic wasn't well so I went to another who said turbo had gone. But after keeping it for two days was too busy to fix it. He said since I'd only had turbo less than 2 years there was underlying fault. He told me it was OK to drive. I drove home 6 miles and stalled then it would not start. AA guy couldn't even jump lead start it. It was totally unresponsive. Have I totalled the engine? I'm not working single mum and my son needs driven around. I'm stuffed without it so am terrified it's useless now. I bought it with money my.mum left me for 11k back in 2016. She left us 20k each so I very not even any money to fix it. I've done a go fund me. Can anyone advise how much I'll need. Thankyou very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 New turbo will cost you around £900 to fix. It will need a diagnostic check carried out. Unfortunately with running a premium brand car such as Audi, bmw or Mercedes no matter how old the cars get the repair bills still stay the same due to the cost of parts.
