      I second that. A little late to the turbo party, but Robin, you put this together exactly how they all should be. Thank you. Hope you are doing well. P.S. I am new to VW/Audi turbo chargers. I've got a 1.8T, new to me, seems to run okay, no MIL, but I can't hear the turbo charger at all. Is this common?

  • @JoeBob79569
    @JoeBob79569 2 года назад +14

    This is fantastic! Replicating multiple different sounds and smoke is something that I've never seen before on RUclips videos.
    My car is currently cutting out immediately after it starts up, but when I disconnect the turbo actuator, or the wiring connector to the actuator, it starts just fine, but obviously runs a bit weird driving without the turbo. And the actuator is not sticking either, and I just cleaned out the turbo last year.

At first, I thought It could be the head gasket and I'm still not completely sure it isn't but after watching this I think it's the turbo. Appreciate the help man!

    I have seen many videos, your videos are the best and clearest about turbochargers. No doubt oil is very important for a turbocharger to work and last long time. In m case I have bought a BMW. After 20000km the turbocharger crash. When Ifollowed the service history, I found from 2015 to 2016 the car has driven over 40000km on the same oil. And from 2016 to 2017 passed over 43000km. No wonder my car has got a lot turbocharger problems. When I have a twin turbocharger in my car. I have two turbocharger the small one is high pressure and the big one is low pressure. There are two pair electronic ventils, 1 pressure converter and 1 charger pressure regulatorventil for the high pressure , 1 pressure converter and 1 charger pressure regulatorventile for the low pressure. So when my car do not accellerate in the low 900-2000 rpm the two components converter and regulatorventil may be faulty. If the turbocharger do no work from 2000 rpm and up the other pair of electronic parts are at fault. Am I right?

  • @JustAnotherDummy92
    @JustAnotherDummy92 3 года назад

    Hope this comment is not to late to respond to:
    So here is my issue maybe you can give advise:
    1. I drive a VW Polo MK4 1.9TDI ASZ version, last year December I drove to my parents for Christmas, on my way, as I overtook another vehicle the turbo popped and pushed all the oil into intake and intercooler. At that point we did not know it was the turbo as the car stated and idled for 5seconds and then died. So we got a family friend out after the car was towed to my parents house he took the boost pipe out connected to the EGR side and the vehicle ran with a lot of white smoke with the car struggling to rev. After a month after the holidays was gone, we got the family friend to check the vehicle out at his workshop, after taking the engine apart the turbo shaft was completely loose inside of the compressor.
    2. We imported a secondhand motor from the UK/EU region and we installed the engine, flushed the intercooler and so on, no after 2 month of having the vehicle back, the EGR is spilling oil again as well as the turbo, the intercooler is leaking oil, but no visible smoke when hammering the car on the freeway.
    Do you have any suggestions as to what might cause this symptoms?

      Hi Ruhel, thanks very much and sorry about the late reply! If all your hoses and piping together with the intercooler are tight, it could be a worn turbo. Today, the cost of a brand new turbo is similar to a reman turbo, so you might as well get it replaced with a new one. /Robin

    I’ve heard noticeable chirping noise that starts around 4k ish rpm and I can’t figure out if it’s the turbo or not. I’ve took it to Audi to get the headlights adjusted and I asked to check the engine because I’ve noticed a weird noise. They said they didn’t hear anything unusual and did a multipoint inspection. I feel like it is a bit slower than it used to be when I give it full throttle. The noise isn’t always apparent so I don’t know if it is a major issue or not. I just hit 20k miles also.
