cheekyyumyum Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 Hi Guys! does anyone know is there an easier way to remove a clogged / coked up turbo for de-coking from the car? :28: Due to lack of space, can the turbo be removed more easier by putting on ramp then pulling/ dismantling from underneath,,,,cue the chortles and lols,,, or as one mechanic was telling me, the radiator etc needs removing then engine tilted slightly to allow access for turbo removal? Many thanx in advance lads! Quote
insanitybeard Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Having worked on mine recently I would say to get decent access, if you go in underneath and remove the intermediate driveshaft on the drivers side, that should open up some space to work in. I don't know how removing the radiator would help much to be honest, especially as you would then have to remove the engine mount and support the engine in order to tilt it forward. Obviously, removing the bulkhead panel at the back of the engine bay (as you would to change the pollen filter) will open up access to the top side. Edited October 23, 2013 by insanitybeard Quote

Does the intake manifold then come out from topside? Cheers! Quote

xavier Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 You don't need to remove the turbo to try the innotec, it's designed to be used with the turbo in situ, you only disconnect the exhaust down-pipe from the turbo outlet to use it. Quote
