General Information: Turbocharger

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Volkswagen GTI and 2008 Volkswagen GTI. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Secure all hose connections using hose clamps appropriate for the model type.

Hose connections and charge air system hoses must be free of oil and grease before installing. On connector couplings, the seal and sealing surfaces must only be lightly oiled. Refer to CHARGE AIR HOSE, INSTALLING .

The charge air system must be properly sealed.

Replace the self-locking nuts.

Hose clip pliers VAS 6362 or hose clip pliers -V.A.G 1921- are recommended for installing spring clamps.

Add oil to the turbocharger through the oil supply pipe connection.

After installing the turbocharger, allow the engine to idle for approximately 1 minute without increasing the engine speed. This ensures adequate oil supply to the turbocharger.

Observe the rules for cleanliness. Refer to CLEAN WORKING CONDITIONS .
