Hi Guys,
Recently The turbo on my mk2 2008 170FR has been whining louder than usual. the car has only just done 100kmiles so I was a bit surprised by the turbo going.
I took off the Air induction side and there is a small amount of oil sitting on the lip of the turbo and when I checked the bearing for movement there is a small bit 1-2mm of side to side movement. Also noticed that the boost is slowly getting worse over last few weeks so its time for a change.
Due to cost reasons I am looking at taking the turbo off myself and getting it refurbed.
Basically I am just wondering if anyone has attempted this before. I am going with new gaskets and oil and filter change but mainly want to know what is the best way for actually removing the turbo.
Any help appreciated guys.
