Sorry about the repost. Same message is in the MkV forum.

G'day all,
The turbo on my MkV 1.9 failed last sat. I just had the 75k service done. Will be off the road till next week a/c nil stock. I suggested they get a bigger aftermarket but alas, no.

The car is covered by warranty. It still went, very slowly and picked up speed on the back of the truck. Still a great car, and I'd buy another.

I havn't heard of any failing till mine. Apparently, sometimes things just die. They said they won't analyse to see why.

Anybody heard of any others failing?
