It can be repaired but there's no guarantee yet at this point in time. If we opt for a brand new turbo from Toyota, that's Php 80K to 100K from what i understand and i've yet to find a new part from Banawe save for the Fortuner 3.0 turbo i spotted for 50K a few months ago. Surplus is a hit or miss and there are not too many surplus D4d turbo units at this point. For CRDi systems, if this will need repairs, expect to shell out anywhere between 30K-50K two years back. I'm not sure if this has gone down significantly already.
In a nutshell, it is still pricey to repair a busted CRDi system and turbo. From my experience, expect to spend anywhere from 40K to 100K if both decide to go kaput on you. It also sucks if you're on a long trip and then you get a bad load of gas (ie water contamination) which will affect engine performance as it goes into " limp" mode. However, if you are stickler for maintenance and follow the proper cool down procedure, and fuel up wisely then the longevity of these parts needing repair will still be quite good. For most brand new purchased, daily drivers seeing 10K to 15K kms a year, this will not really need major repairs until you are way past the 100K-150K km mark so this becomes more a question if you're buying second hand really.
Because pinoy mentality. Not surprising.
