I broke one of those 4mm torx screws getting it out but i managed to weld a nut on the piece of thread that was left , i soaked the whole thing in coca cola to clean it
So overboost happens, when the veins are stuck open? Asking cause my BMW E46 throws overboost errors, but the tech said the actuator moves "relative freely" - whatever that means..! Thanks, if any of you read this and have an answer!
Most likely the grease in those products will trap soot and gum it right back up and with the temp it could just burn off that grease leaving behind heavy carbon deposits
Why does turbo get so dirty?..its because of oil not changing enough times or because car was not driven in proper rpms? Only city drive and not high speed..thank you for the answear
Delete the EGR then clean it and it will never happen again. The other thing is if you have EGR vent the valve cover vent to ground or catch can so that it's not going into intake Oil mist and soot is no bueno And yes more city driving makes all of the above much worse but city driving by its self has 0 effect
PCV valve is the culprit ....change it from 60k to 80k ...when it fails oil dumps into the intercooler ..and slowly carbons up the EGR and Turbo ...use a good oil and CHANGE THAT DAMN PCV VALVE !
jaki silnik o czym ty mowisz i po co by silnik rozbierać ?? widzisz jak wygląda turbina wyjeta z kolektorem zdejmujesz to co widać na filmie i łączenie od wydechu oraz przewod olejowy oraz gumowy dolotu i to wszystko
i alredy cleaned 3days ago, but still overboost, and block the vacuum for the boost level control, so my turbo boost gone. What do you think about this?
The biggest factor would be where, and how it is driven. Slow city driving with a lot of idling in traffic would create more soot. You are burning more diesel/km. Faster, motorway driving would burn less fuel and create less sooty deposit in the turbo. I bought my car and found it would go into limp mode very frequently. As my work commute is a 35 km round trip mainly on the motorway it has cleared up substantially. But I will strip it down when the weather warms and clean it up.
Dang, exact same model same problem. Thanks!

No just make it nice and clean with break clean and a brush
Should I put some copper paste on the bolts?

alh has variable geometry turbo?
Hey Austin, who was your machinist you used in Spokane? I know you mentioned it one time but not finding it. Thanks
Do u have a recommendation for an after market turbo? I got a 2006 Jetta tdi brm 1.9
Ask the Italians about their tuneups

is there a way to "fix it" by just taking it out on the highway and performing a good run on 3500-4000rpm ?
someone told me to do that but i don t want to risk it
You could buy rarely does that work
Can you replace just the vanes?
London turbos in the uk have new vane cartridges available
Is one able to "clean" the turbo on an alh without removing it? I've seen people just open them up and spray oven cleaner in em.
Massive amounts of seafoam and transmission fluid is how we used to do it on a 6.0 powerstroke.which effectively works thensame
@@codyparker679 Transmission fluid?
@@KristoforJensen ATF is great. Full of detergents. Let a rusty wrench sit in atf and you’d be amazed how it cleans up.
great video! Thx!
Hello! Does the engine need to be removed to remove the turbo? Mine is ALH Golf.
No

watch the myturbodiesel on how VNTs work and fail.
How often do you have to clean your turbo ?
Marko fraser just when the car is babied and gets sticky, or it burns oil

Thanks. Informative video 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Did you have to do anything special to run that turbo over stock?
Jerome Campbell you shouldn’t need much! I have injectors, 11mm, tune, smic, piping and 3 bar map!
What size tune did you do? I have a Malone 1.5 with 11mm pump and stock manual injectors.
Jerome Campbell my tuner doesn’t really do the stage game. Just tuned for the mods like you should haha it runs pretty good though
Did you clean manifold?
