Turbo Up The Wall

[deadpool2e]

Hi all,

 

Yesterday was driving home from inlaws along motorway and started to hear a noise when I put my foot on the accelerator (sounded like helicopter blades) then lost all power. I thought it must be the turbo, called the AA out and when I restarted it loads of smoke came from the back. AA man said it

It is in an awkward place but is simple enough to change. You remove the stay that holds the back of it to the block, the oil pipes, the exhausts flexi-pipe, the air pipe and then unbolt it.

 

Other than a turbo to exhaust gasket you should not need any other parts as there is no gaskets onto the exhaust manifold etc.

 

EDIT: You will need four new turbo to manifold nuts, and four exhaust bolts. A new turbo from Ford/VW comes on the manifold as a complete unit and costs about

Cheers for that.

 

How would i know if debris has been drawn into the intake system??

 

Thanks again

Check all the blades are there and complete when you remove the turbo, and look for any bits when you pour any oil etc out of the intercooler and intake pipes.

 

Don't forget the exhaust could have oil in too....

Just looked at TIS and it says i have to take the engine of the mounts? Can i do it with out all that bother. If i can i can probley do it myself

BTW what would you say is a reasonable price to pay with a warranty of some sort?

[deadpool2e]

would the car not start if the turbo had gone? how can i check 100% to know if it is the turbo?
