I'll admit I'm having a bit of a whine. But yes, a turbo diesel engine shouldn't need a new turbo before 500,000k. It's not uncommon to hear "oh, the turbos a bit tired", but it shouldn't be pumping the entire oil content of the engine out in to the engine bay every three months at 220,000k. I say I'm having whinge because, of course, I understand how mean time to failure rates work. My larger point was more about checking the reliability stats though.
