WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Volkswagen Touareg and 2011 Volkswagen Touareg. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Hose connections are secured by clamps and retaining clips.

Charge air system must be properly sealed.

Replace the self-locking nuts.

After installing turbocharger, let engine run at idle for approximately 1 minute and without increasing engine speed. This ensures that charger is lubricated.

When working on turbocharger, carefully observe the following "5 rules" of cleanliness:

Thoroughly clean the connecting points and the surrounding area before loosening.
Place the removed parts on a clean surface and cover them. Only use lint-free cloths!
Carefully cover or seal opened components if the repair will not be done immediately.
Install only clean parts: remove the replacement parts from their packaging just before installing them. Do not use parts that have been stored loose (for example, in tool boxes etc.).
When the fuel system is open: avoid working with compressed air if possible. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
