Hello all

 

Right then, really need to get my passenger side turbo out for inspection, think it is fooked, well convinced its fooked, can i get it out with the engine in, I now that you'll probably all say i need the engine out but dont really have the gear to do it, managed to get the egr out with the engine in so i suppose anythings possible right, so my question is really can it be done, i have patience and time on my side so no problem there, if it is possible will i need and " round the corner" tools to help me out.

 

Cheers for any advice

Yes you can get passenger side out without taking engine out.

 

Last time I did it it took me 2 1/2 hours out, 2 1/2 hours in. I left all the exhaust side connected up (manifold, downpipe etc) and actually took the turbo apart using the 4x M8 bolts (12/13mm spanner IIRC).

 

When you have this turbo off make sure you inspect the block that the oil pressure sender screws into! I went thru 3 L/H turbos before i noticed this was blocked FFS!!!

Can you get the drivers side one out aswell???

Can you get the drivers side one out aswell???

 

You can get the drivers side out it is a lot more involved you have to take the brake master cylinder out and just about everything else around that part of the engine bay its a nightmare the worst part is putting it back and bolting it back together not to mention trying to torque everthing back to correct torque thats impossible.

I had to cut a piece out of a ring spanner for one of the bolts.

Its a full day job
