Hello everyone
I have just clocked 300,000 elms and have noticed that the turbo is occasionally making a siren sound under load.
I've owned vehicle since new so not a bad run.
I intend to have the turbo replaced by a workshop,
As I live on the Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore) would anyone have any good recommendations between Noosa and Brisbane for turbo replacement.
Also should I go for OEM, aftermarket or repair.
Appreciate any advice
Regards

I’ve been considering replacing my turbo too, although now at 421,000. It’s a lot cheaper to replace a turbo before it inserts various parts of itself throughout the engine block, or so I hear.

You guys sure have made your CRDi i30s go the distance (pun intended). Have you had your glow plugs replaced since factory?

Anyone replaced a turbo on an FD 1.6 Deisel? I have a worsening turbo whine and have done 287K km. Any idea of cost in Australia?

My wagon is still running very well otherwise and I don't really want an SUV or a hatch.

I have tried to get quotes from 3 places and they haven't called me back. Business must be good!

My glow plugs were changed at 480,000 they were the originals.
I'm up to 525,000 and looks like the turbo will be replaced this week. Got a whining noise under acceleration.
Other than that we've havnt had much of an issue with the 2009 FD

I had turbo replaced today at 291K $1969 all up, sounds much better.
