I have a turbo that makes alot ZZZZZZZZZZZZ noise once a little trottle is applied and the car hardly moves anymore.... going in safe mode To replace the turbo, i took a closer look from underneat and from the top.... with little view.... So i have some questions Can the turbo taken off with the inlet manifold still in place ? A workshop manual would be great to have ...or atleast some guiding that i know what to expect and without to disassemble to much stuff if not needed ... Guess some onhere have done this before ?
I have only done one of these, but from memory, Turbo comes off complete with ex manifold, from underneath. V band type fitting on the ex down pipe. This link advises removing right hand drive shaft and subframe (!) if DPF fitted. http://workshop-manuals.com/volkswa...charger/removing_and_installing_turbocharger/
Yes, its driving again, its not my favorite car job to do.... well tbh nothing on a roadcar.....my respect for those that work on them everyday ! Tbh this wasnt something i was keen to tackle.... but i started on it after GVK his post ( Btw Thanks again) Just before you can really start on it to get acces .....its needed to remove the central part of the subframe , RH driveshaft and downpipe....and from there its quite straightforward.... and i was all to happy that most of the bolts / nuts came loose easily ....otherwise its misery assured... After the turbo was off, i could see on the exhaust side that 2 blades were missing....with much movement on the shaft Once a new turbo was sourced and fitted back on , after a short testdrive initial the engine was not delivering as it should, I guess as the fault was still in the ECU, but after a couple more trips around the fault cleared itself .... Now its all back to normal and on full boost
