How long do VW turbochargers last?
Wear and tear. Turbos are intended to last the vehicle’s lifespan (or roughly 150,000 miles). Cars with turbocharged engines often cost more to insure because they cost more to repair than their non-turbocharged counterparts. They also have more power and speed than a standard engine, increasing the risk of an accident.With proper maintenance and good driving habits, a turbocharged engine shouldn’t have any significant reliability concerns compared to a naturally aspirated engine.
