| Hi all, just bought a 7 yrs old 308 Turbo with glass roof about 6 months back.
Don't intend to do anything much to the car except to replacing worn out parts which I am starting to discover.
Hope to learn more from you guys about this car! Cheers! | |

| Welcome
Do try to keep cost low. Change only the very necessary parts. | |

| Hi Blue850r, thanks for the advice! My very first challenge at the moment is the turbo kit, sadly. Hope to keep damage low as well. | |

| Since you just bought the car. Did dealer offer you warranty? | |

| Sadly, the warranty covers 6-mths upon purchase only and I'm already in the 7th month. Did try seeking and was rejected.
Just got my 2nd opinion on the turbo today at Antz (Kaki Bt) and really need to replace the turbo. | |

| Yes. P0299. Both opinions pointed to that code and replacement is needed. Suspect Waste gate busted. | |

| Waste gate burst means yours was a recon turbo. You can buy new turbo around 1.4K and get some workshop to change. | |
