As above, i'm looking to replace turbo, most say 2WD. Is there a different one for a syncro [1.6td]

Yes, there is a Syncro version, where the wastegate housing has a breather line coming from the central adjusting screw. On the normal version, the housing itself just has a few small perforations. I guess they were thinking of wading scenarios. I have a 2wd version on my TD and not had any problems.

ok cheers for that. I'm pretty amazed at the prices, nearly £500

hi. i had my syncro turbo reconditioned by midland turbo. they did an excellent job. trade price was £317 inclusive of vat. public price around £350. 1 year/12 month warranty. tel. no. 01159752458.

Just rang them, brilliant! £185+vat if its just bearings and oil seals [likely as its leaking oil into exhaust, but working]
And £380+vat if its totally knackered.
So cheers for that airman
