Pricing for the replacement will vary widely based on who does the work, but you'll typically find better prices at an independent shop than at a dealership. When you choose an indie shop though, make SURE they're a Euro specialist. You honestly don't want a guy working on your high-tech turbo engine when he spends his days wrenching on Mustangs and Chevy trucks. As for whether you have to do it - yes you do. The turbo is an integral part of the car and the car won't run well at all (and will likely degrade further) if you don't fix it.

My best advice to you would be to check www.passatworld.com Look into the forums and use the search function. There is an unbelievable amount of information with just a little bit of searching. And there may be some turbos for sale on there as well. If you can't find anything in your price range, check out a chip... slightly cheaper and just as much power gain as you would from a larger turbo. You will have to chip it if you drop in a larger turbo anyhow. Hope this helps!

There's a level sensor plugged into the bottom of the coolant reservoir. Unplug it and clean the contacts with electrical contact cleaner. If that doesn't do the trick, replace the sensor.
