Don't pay dealer prices!!!!! Think of it as 1 payment on a newer van. If you cant fit it yourself. Phone about. Easy job for a mechanic

Your first mistake was going to a main dealer for a repair! Anything out of warranty should never go back to a main dealer. They can often charge 3x the labour rate of a great local mechanics

 
My mate in edgware would do it a whole lot cheaper..premier autos on edgware road

 
Oh ok. Cool. I lived in Harrow Weald. Not far from Salvo. I went to Gayton High.
That high price was from Vauxhall proper thou! I wouldn't get it done there. Did think bout getting from breakers, but also spent £500 on it just last month, so been weighing up the odds. Cheers Dave.

Whilst it could just be a turbo failure, the reasons for the failure need to be investigated and corrected where necessary.

I'm not up to date on the Vauxhall engine, but turbo failures on the psa/ford turbos are related to oil starvation, incorrect oil used during servicing, or incorrect procedures followed when draining the old oil from the sump when servicing. A blown turbo also requires replacement oil supply piping and the oil feed suck up filter in the oil pan to be cleaned/replaced. This also could be a new oil pump as well.

Ignoring these checks and repairs will mean the a replacement turbo won't last long before it fails again on these engines. Whilst the 1.6 hdi is commonly associated with this problem, it also effects the 2.0 hdi as well.

 
I'm Edgware born and bred, mate. Btw...I only took it to Vauxhall cos my mechanic couldn't find the prob.
