Hi everyone, I'm in the process of trying to prove a garages negligence resulting in a blown turbo in a 2007 Skoda Octavia diesel. I'm hoping that the garage will end up footing some or all of the bill, but regardless I'm tempted to get rid of the car. If the garage will pay for the turbo, move the car on while it's still ok )we've not been lucky with this car at all)? If we have to pay the bill then get it done cheaply and trade the car in.
Any reason why I should pay for the turbo and keep the car, given that we don't know why it blew? The car has been well maintained since new, it was burning about 500ml of oil between services and was otherwise in good condition. I'm tempted by a Mazda 6 estate - 180 bhp, lots of room, lots of features and they seem to be relatively cheap to buy after a year or two from new. Any reasons to avoid the Mazda?
Thanks for your help and suggestions :-)
