Amazing how your turbo came apart with just a few taps of a plastic hammer....i've been hitting the living crap out of mine with drifts and big hammers, heated it, soaked in penetrating fluid and there is not the slightest hint of movement!....similar turbo to this, just with integrated manifold (VW 2.0 TDI). Damn thing just will not budge!
@@Italjohn Mine had been driven for 300,000+ km and took some heavy hitting with a hammer and brass drift to get it to move. It was surprisingly clean, although not as nice as the one in the video. The turbine did not rotate cleanly, leading me to believe there was carbon between the back of the impeller and the washer. I plan to re-assemble it at the weekend and will see then. The symptom was no boost for 60-100 seconds after startup. A word of caution, you need the housing to separate evenly, and near dead straight or the exhaust impeller will smash into the housing, causing damage.
An update. Still awaiting parts from Seat before I can reassemble the vehicle, however, the turbo is back together and rotating freely. It is possible to check that the vanes are moving correctly by viewing at the correct angle down the exhaust port. Not easy, but it can be done.
My vnt only moves about 2-3 millimeters. If I produce a vacuum it moves about 10-12 millimeters. Are they too sticky inside the turbo to move? I can‘t find a vacuum leak in any pipes
@@Italjohn no problem, I think it‘s a good tip to prove if the connections are all correct. It literally took me a week full of frustration and a lot of thinking to do this as a last step
Damn… that was easier than I thought it was. I’ll keep this in mind for when I rebuild my vnt15 one day. Excellent video! Thank you 👍🏼
Thanks for the comment, glad you found it useful ☺
Excellent
Excellent tutorial, thanks 👍
Thank you sir 😀
Excellent video. That's what i need to fix my turbo
Thanks for the feedback, good to hear you liked it 😀
Very nice work, can a worn vnt lever be replaced without changing the entire CHRA ?
I really don't know, sorry
Excellent detailing
Thank you sir, glad you found it useful 🙂
Kiitos!
kiitos paljon itsekin 😀
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Yes I have seen other videos on RUclips that struggles to open it as well. I guess I was lucky with mine 😀

How on earth did it separate so easily. Beating the living crap out of mine and it doesn't budge!
Finally got it seperated to find that the impeller has chunks taken out of it and the vnt is rusted solid... A new turbo then 😭
Oiii, I feel with you

I can't tell, you will have to open it to check. Sorry 😐
@@Italjohn found the problem, two pipes on a valve were connected wrong. Switched them and now I have normal boost and no Limp Mode
Fantastic, thanks for letting us know 👍

How many miles this turbo was on the car, good condition!
I don't know, as I got the turbo from a friend.
Can a dirty VNT make engine in LIMP mode ?
Yes indeed
Good job
Thank you sir 🙂
@@Italjohn i want to clean my turbo. but i need some brave. :) audi c6 4f
