HELP!!!! Anyone know how I can cheaply sort out my Touran Turbo problem. Once in a while, I have been having problems when I start the ignition, the car rumbles and wont start until I do this a few time and like magic it starts normal. someone told me it's probably a problem with the Turbo. It also doesn't have enough push when overtaking on the motorway. Any comments to help please. As for VW dealerships, I gave up on them when they wanted to charge me £270 for a fan heater resister problem that I fixed by just £18 for a replacement part and I fixed it without even a screwdriver. The part was just under the glove compartment. 2 seconds and done.

If the turbo is faulty (have you checked?) then just replace it.

Do you have an idea on the cost? I was told around £900

Xjay,
This all started happening after I changed the clutch on the car. Just thought maybe that will help

I had my mk1 leon pd150 turbo rebuilt for less than 600 but i guess price varies, have you had it scanned on vcds/vag com/code reader to see if that adds anything?

No I haven't. Just curious... How much will that cost?

Full software is a few hundred quid, so probably out the window but it is possible a odb2 bluetooth/wifi reader depending on your phone might work other than that would be try to find a local garage as they shouldn't charge you loads for diagnositcs

Clutch should be unrelated.
