Thank you for this Video George, I'm a crazy home mechanic who'll take on anything and this really helped me work out some difficult moments and get this pig out. For others out there this project has a number of impossible bolts with torx heads, you will need a spline M10 socket to drop the exhaust and 12mm sockets for the 8 manifold nuts. Do not take on if you have not had experience in working with jammed and seized bolts and nuts in jammed areas. I repeat this was hell and only for those who hate engineer designers and like to express that verbally whilst under a car.
Used this video to help me replace turbo on my 2009 VW passat. Absolutely spot on. I'm no mechanic but learning doing jobs on my own car and with this video made the job so much easier....thanks! Garage quote £2.5k for parts (dfp & turbo) done on driveway for £600 with turbo, professional dfp clean, egr cooler and 2 x egt sensors....runs like a dream!
no. My car lost power and cut out and wouldn't re-start during a journey. Blocked DPF with no warning. Looked like it took my turbo with it as the turbine was siezed.
Great Job! I've been thinking about attempting this on my Audi and you've given me hope that it's not as bad as it looks. Thank you so much for taking the time to video and post this.
Just to anyone attempting, you definitely need to take off the pipe at 10:05 or turbo will not come off. You need a 1/4 12mm socket with wobbly bit to undo the last bottom manifold bolt near the dpf side
Great video thanks a lot! Really helped me remove mine, as another comment mentioned if you’re not used to dealing with sized nuts and bolts I would give this a miss. It’s a tough job and one that I could only describe as a right t**t
Good job, thanks for the video! Just a small question - did you drain the engine oil before started to remove the turbine? Or the engine oil should not be drained for this process?
Thanks for posting man, great work. My yeti 2012 TDI is smoking on cold start ups in the engine bay near the cat/ turbo on LHS of engine bay. No fault codes, I'm hoping its just some gaskets.
I've just rebuilt my turbo on my passat cc (same engine ) . It take me around 9 hours to do the job with my car on Jack stands on the street. It was a pain but if I was to do it again I think I could half that time
Incredible hard job, looked like hell on earth. Thanks for posting. Question; Do you where they leak from. ive got an oil leak there and can barely see it.
Probalbly a little late but what the hell. Mine was leaking past the internal bearing because previous owner had overfilled with oil and also their was some play in the shaft/ bearings. Also when out could see it was leaking from large internal oring on compressor side inside compressor housing, 13 years later it was letting go.
@@user-pi3ep3px9n so youre saying you drove with it like that for 13 years? The excactly same story happened to me. Previous owner overfilled engine. Now its smoking at cold engine and play in turbo+turbo noise.....
It's a channel for dirt haha, the reason that happens is shutting the engine down immidiatly after high loads, the oil cabonises inside the pipe, tdi turbos get extremely hot and that's how that happens.
@@GicaPhpno worries bro, I'm currently battling to get my turbo off the block too, I had a timing event and need to remove the cylinder head, it's never taken so long to simply remove 8 nuts....
I have a DPF delete I have a downpipe that’s split into two pieces and also I’m willing to take the driveshaft out the way. Do you think I can take it from underneath or still need to take it from the upper side like you’ve taken away the battery and all that❤
At the 6 min bit. How did you remove that oil feed so easy. Am doing a turbo job now and have just bent the oil feed pipe while trying to undo that 17mm nut. The pipe turned with the nut and bent and now I have to replace the oil feed pipe.
Way harder on the golf! Definitely no way to get the turbo out the top. Oh and the US model is different cause we have the brake master cylinder on the right side where your firewall is completely free. The downpipe (or dpf if you still have it) and cv need to come out for the turbo to come through the bottom on the US spec golf/jsw. Just FYI for anyone reading.
Thanks for the video. Did your car have a brake booster? Looks like my master cylinder sits forward than yours. Seems yours is not in the way when you removed the turbo
Nice VIdeo George! I do quite a bit of work myself, I was wondering - will this procedure work on the Audi A3 8P TDI CR 170 too? I know the space is tight to pull the turbo out on the passat but it looks to be the same on an A3 8P too - have you done one on an Audi A3 8P TDI?
Does this only work on the ones with no dpf? Pretty sure you can't access a lot of those bolts from the bottom of the dpf is in the way? I read you have to drop the subframe and remove the OS driveshaft...
Hi, I’ve gotten to the part where you remove the oil feed lines. I have tried getting my turbo to budge but it won’t move, I’m scared to try and force it off. It may be frozen on with rust. I have all 8 nuts off.
Excellent video - EXCEPT for the horrible heavy metal "music" dubbed in during most of the video. Would have been great without the "Music" noise!. I watched it muted to get away from the loud noise, checking several times to see if it had gone away yet and you were talking.
Hi, I gave my car to the mechanic. Vw passat b7 2012 to change turbocharger but after changing the turbo my car misfire and won't move and when acceleration then noise. Mechanic try to find problem but he can't find he told me he check everything like leakage sparkplugs all thing what need to b check for misfire but he can't find anything. He do diagnostic and there also show no problem but car won't move and noise 🤕

You just pulled it out on the right site... On my passat b6 there is the brakefluid... So There is no way to pull it out on right site... What did you do

Was your car going on and off the power and no power after 3k
no. My car lost power and cut out and wouldn't re-start during a journey. Blocked DPF with no warning. Looked like it took my turbo with it as the turbine was siezed.
Great Job! I've been thinking about attempting this on my Audi and you've given me hope that it's not as bad as it looks. Thank you so much for taking the time to video and post this.
You can do it! One bolt at a time, make sure you fit all your socket perfect on the bolt so you do not round any bolts/nuts heads and you'le be fine
Just to anyone attempting, you definitely need to take off the pipe at 10:05 or turbo will not come off. You need a 1/4 12mm socket with wobbly bit to undo the last bottom manifold bolt near the dpf side
Thank you for the tip. ;-)
Good detailed video but now I've seen the job....there's more chance of me being knocked over with a submarine than attempting that myself lol
It's not that bad, just need a lot of time and tools :P
Great video thanks a lot! Really helped me remove mine, as another comment mentioned if you’re not used to dealing with sized nuts and bolts I would give this a miss. It’s a tough job and one that I could only describe as a right t**t
yes, siezed bolts can be hard sometime, the key is patience
Good job, thanks for the video! Just a small question - did you drain the engine oil before started to remove the turbine? Or the engine oil should not be drained for this process?
Everytime you replace a turbo, clean feed and drain oil pipes at least (if you don't have new) and new oil and filter is a must.
Nice one, thanks, I was thinking you had to remove the whole DPF & exhaust system, didn't realise you can just move it out of the way.
Yes you can!
@@GicaPhpI’m really struggling to access the two bottom left manifold bolts with the cat in the way, do you remember how you got to them?
Muy buen trabajo, me ha orientado bastante a la hora de acometer el cambio de un turbo a un vw golf, muchas gracias¡¡¡

Hopefully will be something simple

Multumesc de ajutor 🥳
Cu placere
The turbo on the old b5 was much easier than this . The transverse engine makes it a lot harder to get at. Thanks for showing the job .
Yes, old models were very nice, but not anymore, all these new systems, just crowded in the already small space of the engine bay.
@@GicaPhp 👍
Just saved me like 2 hours, I thought I was going to have to remove the exhaust and Axle

Yes, I agree with that.
Incredible hard job, looked like hell on earth. Thanks for posting. Question; Do you where they leak from. ive got an oil leak there and can barely see it.
This one did not have the oil changed in time and clogged up the feed pipe for the turbo, so the turbo seized. Where is your leaking oil, what area?
Probalbly a little late but what the hell. Mine was leaking past the internal bearing because previous owner had overfilled with oil and also their was some play in the shaft/ bearings.
Also when out could see it was leaking from large internal oring on compressor side inside compressor housing, 13 years later it was letting go.
@@user-pi3ep3px9n so youre saying you drove with it like that for 13 years? The excactly same story happened to me. Previous owner overfilled engine. Now its smoking at cold engine and play in turbo+turbo noise.....
Before all this happening, what was the symptoms on the car? What was your car doing? What was the issue? Did it stopped all of a sudden
Turbo was siezed
Need to do this on my golf, still working myself up to it 😂
Good luck

What I ussualy do is to soak all bolts/nuts/banjo in wd40 or similar pentrant oil, and play back and forward, and take my time until it gets loose.

hi, never got the change to do on a3, but you might have to pull the turbo out in a different way
In the process on my A3 TDI and it looks to be exactly the same. This is the best video you'll find on RUclips for the job!
Does this only work on the ones with no dpf? Pretty sure you can't access a lot of those bolts from the bottom of the dpf is in the way? I read you have to drop the subframe and remove the OS driveshaft...
This one had no dpf indeed.
Did you not remove the oil sump and clean or replace the oil feed...? You didn't mention you are at the end mate just wondering lol
You can choose to take sump off, but new feed an return pipe if you want, this video was on how to remove the turbo.
Hi, I’ve gotten to the part where you remove the oil feed lines. I have tried getting my turbo to budge but it won’t move, I’m scared to try and force it off. It may be frozen on with rust. I have all 8 nuts off.
if you have all bolts and brackets off, use a rubber hammer to lose it
