That metal protecter peice that sits above the turbo is not just 3 bolts people.... theres also bolt under it that holding it down and there a bitch to get to. Especially the allen screw. I said id never work on an vw again yet here i am. Vw suck to work on.
Great video J, thanks for posting it. I was frikkin stumped on this one. Might still be but at least I know what I need to do now. Hard to tell when you can't see anything. I hate these cars! I'm a Corvette mechanic.
hey great video ! i’m working on this job right now. but i’m having a tuff time removing the plate above the turbo/ manifold. if you have any tips i would appreciate it !
Yeah that one it's some pain. Just spray some PB Blaster and let it sit, also in tight spaces I always use a 1/4 inch ratchet. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Yes I started the bolt by hand, it was a little uncomfortable but I'm used to this kind of work so it wasn't to bad. You can get It from the top or bottom just depends on the size of your hand.
The only Video about this . Thank you sir
Thanks for this video, the engineers really suck for this design to replace a simple line. Took forever to get this out.
Your welcome, thanks for watching.

Excellent video! Crazy that you had to unbolt the axle to access a coolant hose!
Great video man saved me a lot of time!
