What you have to do is remove the 2 bracket bolts on the bottom of turbo then from the top lift it straight up on both sides then with a pry bar push out on a 45 degree angle
Great video! I just got a code P0299 for first time, yellow engine light; dealer tells me I can monitor/ drive car but if it comes back red time for a turbocharger repair, or waste-gate check or pressure sensor. NoteI I fixed oil consumption problem by changing the PCV diaphragm ( Amazon) and then doing an EPR - Engine Performance Restore engine flush. Problem solved. You need to change your oil regularly on these TFI engines especially cold climate (Northern US and Canada). Every 3500 miles or 5000 kms. These PCV diaphragms don’t age well.
Hey Motorcarnut, thank you for the video, its super helpful and a straight forward process, easiest video for me to follow personally.... I was wondering if this same process would also work for the 2013 GTI mk6? Thanks again!
Thank you! Those turbos last way more then 60K miles, people just don't maintain the oil with they rely on for longevity. You can buy a remanufactured one or just the cartridge. I have videos on replacing the cartridge on BMW which is similar.
I cant thank you enough for your videos. Im attaching my daughters car tomm. Leaking oil from that are. Do you happen to live in Long Island new york. By anychance. Thanks Brian Seaford Long Island
I don't but besides hand tools you will need torx 30 and a 20 socket, better to get a set if you are going to work on these vehicles. spine drive socket 10 12mm screwdrivers pliers
@tonymazias3325 there’s 2 bolts on the bracket on the engine block that need to be removed and the bracket bent up a little to give some movement to make the manifold assembly slip up and tilt out a little bit then it will side off. Very tight tolerance but will come off
Very thorough. Now I have confidence to replace the turbo in my wife’s car. Great!
You can do it!
You're a lifesaver with these detailed videos on those packed 2.0 engines. I'm a new EOS owner and you've helped me a lot 🍻

Nice work!
The 5 mm Allen key on the shield is stripped any idea what I can do ?
@marvinnino5971 you’ll have to cut it off and get a new one. It happened to me once.

Thank you bro! Appreciate the comment! Yes pretty much the same engine
@@motorcarnut You are the best!! Thank you so much! Tackling the turbo today!
@NøxxDubz good luck!!
Great video! With what turbo do you replace the old one? Since the original ones go bad after 60k
Thank you!

@@motorcarnut Ah! Im having a hard time finding the original turbo. I think its a borgwarner. Do you know more? Its a 2.0 tsi 4motion tiguan.
You can just put in you year and model in any site like eBay or VW website depending on how much you want to spend.

Sure no problem. Good luck and no not long island
What to do? Did you use to remove the coolant line from the Turbo? Was it 1830 also?
I don't understand the question?
Would you happen to have a full list of the tools needed for this job? Thanks!
I don't but besides hand tools you will need torx 30 and a 20 socket, better to get a set if you are going to work on these vehicles. spine drive socket 10 12mm screwdrivers pliers
You just don't miss!!! First comment on this great video. Thank you brother!
I appreciate that! Thank you!!
Do I need to get new turbo oil lines, or can I use the old ones? Thanks.
No you can reuse them as long as they are not damaged.
I'm having a hard time with 3 manifold nuts\bottom. Where was that part?
You don’t take the bottom nuts and brackets off the manifold just the top nuts and it slips up and out
@@motorcarnut I'm definatly missing something then. Cause this thing is solid. No movement at all.
@tonymazias3325 there’s 2 bolts on the bracket on the engine block that need to be removed and the bracket bent up a little to give some movement to make the manifold assembly slip up and tilt out a little bit then it will side off. Very tight tolerance but will come off
Great job ❤
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback!
13:40 i removed that lower bracket to get the turbo out 😅
That's a big waste of time for no reason. Its designed that it slips up and out when removing only the top nuts.
Is the rubber boot on the air cleaner plastic pipe on the turbo upside down
No
@@motorcarnut thanks every time I’ve ever seen that boot it has the small neck at the bottom..and the writing upside down 👍
05:30 is actually a 6mm allen key not 5mm
Actually there are two sizes I just checked the 5 and 6mm didn’t realize that. Thanks for the info!
I stripped the FUCCCCKK out of that bolt
