How long does a turbo last on a VW?
Turbochargers are designed and built to last many years, but like all car components, they will eventually fail. You can expect your turbo to last up to around 150,000 miles – or even more if it’s seldom used.
How long do turbo engines last?
I’ve seen them with 200,000+ miles on them still running fine. Large heavy-duty turbo diesel engines will last 500,000 miles or more.
Turbo engines are usually built stronger than regular naturally aspirated engines, so as long as they are maintained properly, they’ll run for a long time.
Is a turbo engine good for a long drive?
Turbocharged cars usually run at a higher RPM, so they tend to overheat more than naturally aspirated ones.
Overheating may cause the engine to stall mid-way. Therefore if you are traveling long distances, ensure you take halts at regular intervals to avoid overheating.
