2008 bentley continental flying spur turbo problems
on a 2008 bentley continental flying spur i am getting codes 00579 which is turbo wastegate solenoid A and code 01348 exhaust gas temperature sensor circuit bank 1. I have been told the wastegate solenoid is bad and can only be replaced by replacing the whole turbo. the dealer wants 12,000 dollars for a turbo. can anyone give me some advice to fixing these codes or where i can find a wastegate solenoid that is not a ton of money. any advice would be helpful.
There are some recon turbo's on eBay UK for around $600 US.
I guess the engine has to come out to change the whole turbo, hence the price quoted.
It's still an exceptionally high quote though. I would shop around.

Local dealer literally just told me they can’t give me the part numbers since I’m not going through them to replace the turbos . I️ have a chance to buy a set of 2012s with only 5k miles on them for $600 each . The 12k I was quoted just for the part after the core charge is ridiculous!!
