Located a 34K mile, 96 TT in KS Guards /Black. The car has had a clutch replaced as well as both turbos due to those leaking in 05 with 25K, then the clutch and flywheel was replaced again,as well as the left turbo in 06 with 26K. the car looks like it was in Houston TX with a dealer maybe RPM?, and then at Premier in Missouri. Do any of you know the car? and whats up with the turbo replacements. Currently the owner is having BHR in KS due his work on the car, how are they?
Carfax is clear and no body work or paint has been done according to the owner.

I don't think having turbos changed really means much. It could have been misdiagnosed: culprit being the faulty oil filter. This happend quite often in the earlier lives of our cars. However the clutch being replaced seems kinda early for 35k car. If you like the color, get a PPI done with a leakdown and also have a body shop look at it then report back.... good luck..

clutch replaced twice btw....25k then at 26k with flywheel. Either it was upgraded or the first job was bad, the shop the did the last clutch was BHR , they have a good rep from what I've seen so far from here.

You may want to have someone like Stephen at Imagine Auto do a PPI in Lenexa

I used BHR for many years before moving on to John Clark and Steve Cousins at Clark Collision Repair in Raytown Mo. These two guys are absolutely fantastic and will treat you fairly. They work on a number of TTs and know these cars extremely well.

Good Luck!
