Turbocharger, Removing And Installing: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required
- Hose Clip Pliers :VAS6362
- Socket Bit XZN 10 :T10501
CAUTION:
If mechanical damage is found on the turbocharger (for example a destroyed compressor wheel), simply replacing the turbocharger is not enough. To avoid subsequent damage later, perform the following steps:
- Check the air filter housing, air filter element and air duct hoses for contamination.
- Check the entire charge air circuit and charge air cooler for foreign objects.
- If there are foreign objects in the charge air system, clean the charge air circuit and replace the charge air cooler if necessary.
