CHECK your AIRBOX before you WRECK your TURBO!

- We tune a lot of cars here at Darkside and an often overlooked, or even self inflicted, problem can be lurking under the bonnet. Clean filtered air is vital to keep an engine healthy and producing correct power figures. Missing seals and dodgy filters are not ideal and can be costly to fix.
The B8 platform is notorious for the MAF sensor seal being missing and causing premature turbo wear, at least 50% of these cars are missing the seal from the factory or being misplaced during servicing. Almost all require a turbo replacement.
If you are booking in for a tune with us, please check your turbo first, it will save delays and cost when we have the car in our workshop!

Here we see the difference between a 'Tuner' with their map any car laptop and a proper specialist who gives you free in depth advice on how to keep your your tuned car healthy. 👍
Great point 👍
Props for making sure "Reyt Then" was still deployed in a short video!¬
reyt then
💯 % genuine garage with plenty of knowledge
Wow glad you showed me this, as I have a B8 A4 TDI. It's just gone for a service and I will check it when it comes back. My friends got the B7 2005 model, with a new turbo. His old one had the same wear on the turbo that broke. Now his airfilter box is in a bad way, and I suspect its down to that. I will mention it to him, and show him this video, as it could damage his new turbo too. Good job your here to help, love all your videos🚗 ❤️👍
even the ryet then was quick :D
Bread and butter staight down the line info. BANG ON thank you.
Just checked mine was there. I service it myself and always put it back but had to check again so I can relax 😂
Just checked my filter on my 2011 A6 3.0TDI (CDUC), no seal at all but turbo and intake pipe all clean and no damage thankfully!
Perfect!
Awesome bit of advice, just off down the garage to check mine 🙈👍🏼
Great tip. Will check my own car for this ASAP. Im guessing its not there because when i bought it the the MAF was not sitting properly in the filter or the box, and the car threw a error code because of a dirty MAF.
Awesome advice 👏 I will keep an eye on that! Cheers fellas 🍻
Reyt then
Good find and great informational vid!
Check yo self before you wreck yo self?
You made me check mine.
I have the 3.0 bitdi 320ps A6 and it looks like the Airfilter seals direct to the Airfilter on that.
Believe it's CVUA engine
Yikes. I better check it on mine now. I've always made sure to put that blasted o-ring back on, as much of a pain as it is, but I'm not the first owner of the car. Is it hard to get to the turbo to get a peek at it?
2 minute job in V6 TDI!
Goodnight. I have an Audi A6, 2.0 tdi - 190 hp, from the year 2016 c7 (facelift) and I would like to know if this problem applies to my model. Thanks and continuation of good content. Congratulations
It's easy to check!
Quality standard of service. Makes all the difference…
r56 Mini cooper S had a funny little collar on to the turbo inlet, that would perish and get sucked in and trash the turbo.........ask me how I know :( Hell of a noise that made!
☆☆☆☆☆ proper work carried out.
bought a truck a while back, driving back thought it sounded different to the test drive, checked airbox filter was missing
That’s messed up! They said he’s taking it home let’s strip the air box for this other car we need to sell
VW left the filter out in a recent Amarok. Dead turbo again.
Wow, that's so dodgy, you think they'd design it better than that, thanks for the look around, Rj in Oz
I’ve got a feeling I need a new turbo gonna have a look at it when I change my filter on weekend. I’m new to working on cars does slight damage to turbo mean new turbo? If so is it worth upgrading or changing turbo like for like? What sort of cost is a turbo upgrade (2008 a5 3.0 CCWA)
If the turbo is damaged, it's best to get it replaced to prevent any further potential damage to the engine. As to which turbo to get, depends if you want to keep it standard or want to push more power out of it than just a tune will do. Drop us an email to sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk with reg/vin and we can breakdown costs depending on what you want to achieve from your car
@@DarksideDevelopments I mean I wont complain having more power 😂 when I bought the car it was already mapped to 300ish and managed to finesse the dark side downpipe for free with the car as he took it off before sale and have put it on since so sounds 10/10. Is it as simple as putting a bigger/more powerful turbo on or are other upgrades needed when upgrading turbo. Once I have a look at turbo on weekend I’ll know if I want to change turbo or not yet
Turbo will help but supporting mods will help get the best out of it. Drop us an email and we'll be able to help you out further on there
I've just got at audi a6 avant and will def be checking this. Thanks for the video.
I'm not a mechanic, but can the turbo not be serviced and have a new impeller installed rather than a whole new unit?
Yes but not the same day!
in the market for a 3.0tdi A5 i’ll need to do this to check. guessing to see the turbo a lot needs to come off though?
1 jubilee clip, 2 mins
Quick and easy to check mate. Mines going up for sale if you're near Birmingham haha
That one dislike is from the “Turbo dealer” 😒

1:36 The filters caused it? Or more likely, the incorrect fitment of the filter.
Both
Hello im from sweden and follow your posts it seems you guys know what you doing 👌🏻.I folia you guys since i buyed a Audi . Now I’m owner of Audi A6 (45TDI) , and I have one question I changed my air filter and usually I check all pipes and condition of turbo, looks good , but I wondering one thing ?should be oil moisture on the inlet pipes and turbo? It’s not a lot but you can definitely feel there is oil ?
Yes this is normal, it is just oil vapours from the breather pipe going back into the inlet. Nothing to worry about 👍
Should the turbo look immaculate or will there still be signs of wear on a 80,000 mile car even if there is a seal? Cheers
They usually look fairly good at all mileage
Can you show how to insert properly thanks, for DIY mechanics
Plenty of grease!
@@DarksideDevelopments will do!
I have a a4 b8.5 can i run stage 2 on the stock are box ?
Should be able to yes
Best there is, wish they had a Scottish branch. What abt the dads driving family mobiles losing the will to live. No parts around for 1.5 dci Renault engine. I hate it. If I could boost it maybe I could live with it
Im not machanically minded at all,jst bought an A5 3.0 tdi,i gambled on my common sense,ive saved this vid to take to my machanic,im shittin it abit..............oh n thanks for advice.
Worst case = big turbo!
@@DarksideDevelopments iu
Do you recommend any aftermarket filters or do you just suggest using OEM ones?
OEM until it restricts, or you want more noise!
I was about to ask the same. You see so so so many open cone filters sucking hot under bonnet air and the owner will argue til blue in face that theyre worth power lol
Anybody any ideas why a actuator rod will move freely when vac pipe connected but when connected to wastegate it won’t budge at all ?🤔
What car?
Them dry piper X foams are not much good
Will you be doing a backbox delete on the cooper SD? Want to do one on mine
I think so but it might be too loud
What is the part number of this seal?
Got them listed here - www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/audi-2-7-3-0-tdi-b8-maf-sensor-to-airbox-seal.html all the fitment data is towards the bottom
Or you can get them from your local dealer
@@DarksideDevelopments Thank you!
👍
Would you advise against a remap from 242hp to 272hp for a 2012 cduc a7 with 128k on the clock? Just checked my turbo, one of the fans has a small amount of erosion on the top, smaller than 2 mm , the seals good on my oem filter thankfully
A light tickle might be OK!
@@DarksideDevelopments were they whistling a bit moor than normal
Do i need to worry about this in A4 B9 ?
We've not come across any with B9's yet but always good to check
Does this help with removing the carbon buildup in the intaken on the fsi engines by constantly sandblasting the engine😅🤣😂
Good point, yes!
Does this still apply if I’ve got a induction kit on 335d bmw 2010 thanks
Not really
Do the 2014 Audi Q7 3.0 TDI have the same issue thanks
Yes
Is this the same for my 2010 3.0tdi
Yes
Just picked up an A7 Bitdi can these problems occur on this engine? Cheers.
Yes
@@DarksideDevelopments cheers will have a look tomorrow 👍

@@DarksideDevelopments Peugeot 307 1.6 HDI non VGT turbo I know it’s not your type of vehicle but any help would be appreciated if anybody knows 🤧 More than enough vacuum to move the rod fully but when attached to the wastegate it won’t move at all resulting in no boost
