The seal on the turbo of my 59 plate ceed is failing and I've been quoted over £600 for a replacement which, with VAT and labour, means I'm looking at best part of a grand to get it replaced. This is one of those decisions that makes me wonder whether it's the end of this Kia, and that saddens me.
Do you think that's a reasonable cost for a turbo for, let's face it, not the most dynamic of turbo vehicles?

Is that fitted?

Sounds good deal, I blew a turbo and had a clutch replaced at the same time by a Kia dealer cost 2k supplied and fitted about 6 years ago.
