Hello,

I have an Audi 2002 A4 1.8 that I purchased new in 2002. I have been able to keep the car running even though it has 220,000 miles and it has been a good commuter car. Since I have two kids in college I was trying to keep it running a little longer but I am not sure if I need to draw a line in the sand now. So the coolant was leaking, almost immedately, I brought it to the Tires plus shop around the corner from my house and they said that the line leading to the turbo has come apart. It requires special tools to replace and they said the posibility exists the turbo would need to be replaced. Since I don't know much about fixing cars is this something that is worth bringing to the dealer to look at and fix or is this something that it will be very expensive to fix and it wouldn't be worth given the miles and age of the car? Also if anyone knows a reputable shop in the Tampa Bay/Pinellas county in FL it would be appreciated, thank you in advance for any assistance!!
