Had a weak turbo on my 1.6 tdi and without realising that had it remapped and the turbo gave way yesterday
are there any upgrades availible? or does a 2.0 tdi 140/170 fit?

You'll have to get one suitable for the newer common rail diesels as the old 2.0tdis are PD diesels
Is there no warranty on the car?

How many miles had the car done when it went?

Ah right, mines has a few bad sensors too but in the exhaust.
I agree with the more poke, after 3k it doesn't really feel like there is much power as lower down in the range.
