Re: Audi 5kcstqw Turbo Problem

["John" <john_d@ntplx.net>]

I took off the hose the other day.  And to my surprise their were no holes.
But I did find some drops of oil and some residue.  Which I understand not
to be a good sign.   Some body told me that the turbo is going and I need to
get a new one is this true.   What are my options.  Thanks again.
