Default Q5 turbo

So got the Audi serviced and its had an EPC light for a few weeks

Code comes up as Turbo actuator mechanical malfunction

Audi want to replace turbo at $4663 plus labour

They can shove it up their...

Car drives fine and no performance issues

Anyone encounted this before?


Found Audi servicing to be stupidily expensive quoted 1273 to replace coolant reservoir lol..
