My A3 2.0tdi (on a 53 plate making it Sep 03 to Mar 04 in age) has started to make a very brief high pitch whine the moment the power goes on before returning to normal. The car has done 83,000, near perfect miles, in 3 years nearly all on the motorway. My Audi main dealer (who have serviced from new)says it is the turbo and that "it will be OK until it starts making a louder noise" but cannot or will not be more specific other than saying it will cost £1,700 when it goes.
Has anyone any experience of whether this is a reasonable lifespan and a reasonable cost?
What will happen if and when it goes?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
