Any one help. I’m going to do this. But unsure what size to tap the threads and what size nut to use. I’ve never tapped a thread before so very weary on how to do it. Cheers.

I remember watching this years ago, was such a good idea because it didn't set the engine management light off so was a double win.

Superb diy fix! I will do this on my Transit mk7

Are you local to pocklington do you fancy doing mine

Will it fix P0132B fault code?

Will this work on my 2008 Galaxy 2.0tdci turbo?

Seems fantastic mate . I just don't have the confidence to attempt it 👍

XD mistrz świata

Jobs a goodun!

Block off the EGR Valve,so no more crap into the turbo.

A little tip, use a copper washer, it will get a better seal

I have the euro 5 engine in a 2013 mondeo. Ill have to get the mirror out and see if it can be accessed.

Hi Anthony mine is having the same problem just wondering if it's something u do for.me or.am.i best having a go.myself

Quick update...carried this work today..took about an hour or so to complete. Yes, had to remove the diesel filter canister, but all straightforward....just be careful when drilling the smaller smaller pilot holes, so not to snap the drills as space is tight when holding your 90 degree drill...rather than using Mr Muscle, I used a specialist turbo cleaner aerosol that came with a long tube that and sprays in 3 directions...also includes an additive to put into your filter canister and fuel tank...

Ni de coña tío, si le metes al turbo por la entrada del aire no va a llegar a al otro lado.

Thank you for your video! I'm going to do this as well. New turbo 1480£. Can you help with bolt and thread? You said 6.8 thread but the bolt is M8! How is it match? And how long should be the bolt? Thank you Sorry, absolutely have no mechanic skills.

Egr blank for longer term fix. All that crap comes from PCV valve which can be eliminated by using a oil breather catch tank kit for £19 ebay.

Hi there, could you please tell me if using this method has anyhow affected the performance later. I also wonder, what happens to "debris - that moistures dirt" I hope someone can share their experience in long term.

Thumbs up for da dooooogzzzz 😂😂😂 👍😉

Hi Anthony, great video. I know its a few years old, but still current for Mondeo and Jaguar X type owners.....Great idea to use a spare turbo to show how it works. Plan to do this soon....can you remember how thick the metal is where you drilled the hole in the turbo manifold? assume you removed the diesel filter to give you more room to drill the hole...and how long was the straw you used? if it helps anyone else the standard thread for a M8 bolt is M8 x 1.25 (as mentioned use 6.8mm drill size) . If used with grease, any swarf will stick to the tap thanks Pete

Hi mate, can you help me fix mine on my x type? I'm near Manchester. Happy to pay for your time

This is something that we Jag owners have known about for a long while but it's takes guts to actually do it, well done for doing it so well. Be good if they sold a kit consisting of a drill bit a tap bit the bolt and the washer.

I recently got an X-Type 2.2D, for cheap because it had a "gearbox fault" and was going into limp mode. It's an automatic, and when I'd put it into gear there would be a major "clunk!" from the transmission, felt like the gearbox was going to fall out! So I had the bonnet up and when I turned on the ignition I could hear a clicking from the engine so I went and had a look, and this actuator was trying to move. I gave it a little push, helping it on its way, and it completely fixed the problem. I did do the Mr. Muscle trick a few days later as the turbo was obviously clogged up with crap. Pretty strange though, that the gearbox was making such a violent thump when the problem was the turbo actuator. But good video, just the right pace and the right amount of information.

Mr Bennett that was Brilliant Welldone 👏👏👌

Nice accessible turbo there. Not all as easy to get at. Certainly beats taking off exhaust at turbo or egr valves to get into the vanes.

Deadly...not sure what my issue is but I'll be sure to do this before bringing it to the garage, good man

For everyone it has worked for, how did you find access? Due to the fuel filter i struggle to come in straight on the turbo and that's with a smaller drill bit to get started. I'd be nowhere near with a 6.8, i'd be coming in on a fair old angle. Did you remove the fuel filter to get access?

out of the box thinking - brilliant

Hi mine has just seaized still on my transit mk7. Would this be the same fix. Thank you

Hi Do you need to remove the turbo to tap it

Great stuff doing mine this wk do you put the turbo heat shield back on or leave it off when done

Hi Buddy Brilliant idea 👍🏻 You n your mr muscle done my Jag X-Type back to fly again. It was completely dead. Thank You for your video 👍🏻permanent fix.

My Ford mondeo 2002 has a turbo to

So in 2020 as it is now Anthony, how long did this fix last for, unlikely as it may be 7 years on do you still run that car, if not how long did it continue to work for, I've ordered a right angle chuck to give it a go on my 2.0D Jaguar X-Type which as others have said is the same engine pretty much, I'd be interested to hear your response as my car isn't giving me any problems but I thought this may be a good way to help keep the turbo in tip top condition as I'm intent on keeping the car for a good many years.

Best video on youtube Thanks very much Mr Bennett Much appreciated

Super great.... does this helps stoping grey smoke from exhaust....???

Tried on my 1.6 mtj(lancia delta3) this is hilarious!!!! 2 years of stalling, problem solved!!!! Goes like butter!!! 10min of mr. Muscle.Workshop guys sad my turbo is "dead"... Thanks so much for this video!!! Can I clean intake on my car with mr Muscle???

The right-angle chuck I've been waiting on finally arrived today, so I've given it a go. Followed your instructions, and success! No more limp mode, and the car goes like $h!t off a chrome shovel again! Thanks for the video, very helpful. :)

Great video...just need to know if any body can help...Do you drill the hole after youve taken the turbo of and opened it up to clean any metal thats shaved of through drilling the hole....or do you just drill the hole whilst the turbos still in ?

This saved me a lot of money. Had the fault code reader diagnose a turbo fault and told it could be the actuator or the turbo itself. Symptoms were glow plug light flashing and going into limp mode. When I released the circlip from the actuator arm going to the turbo and pulled it back and forth it was squeaky and stiff. Even when the glow plug light wasn't flashing there was a slight hesitation on acceleration. Purchased the tools and set about the job, some tips. My 2007 Mondeo TDCI has a heat shield, there are 4 bolts. Three are visible on top and one is out of sight at the back, be careful not to drop this. The main hole is cut with a 6.8m drill bit but you need the right angle drill attachment and drill a pilot hole first. When you cut the thread with an M8 tap and die, liberally apply a lubricant and go slow, I did a maximum of 2 turns before backing out and cleaning off the swarf and applying more lubricant (3 in 1). It takes some time to cut the thread but when the resistance ends and it is turning freely, your in. I used the applicator from a tin of WD40, make sure it is snapped back fully so it is open and apply liberally, the foam came out of the hole when I did it. Leave 10-15 mins and go for a blast after sealing the hole with an m8 bolt and washer. I did this 3 weeks ago and not gone into limp mode since.

Mine is Down then when started goes up then goes back down straight away. Is something else wrong limiting the boost?

My 2.2 TDCI has been getting progressively worse for the last year, now it's stuck in limp mode all the time. I disconnected the actuator rod earlier today, and discovered it was very stiff to move... fault found! I was dreading the thought of taking the turbo to bits, so I'm definitely going to give this a go instead.

tryed many cleaners to sprey in this "Drilled magic hole" .... My best result with long lasting effect is - mannol 9970 Vergaser Reiniger (carburetor cleaner) And once again, many thanks to the author for our happy turbos!

Maybe leave the nut off for a bit to blow the swarf out the hole from drilling otherwise it may end up in the turbo

Worked great on my Turbo wastewater vains Which we’re stuck, told needed new turbo , this cheap fix works thank you

Did this a couple years ago. I think it was after seeing your video. It works great. My 06 tdci runs like a bag of crap.had injectors changed. Removed egr. Put air intake straight through. Still runs like crap. Coil light limp mode regular. Smokes now and again and rattles like pennies in a tin can. And after all this today i squeezed 66.9 mpg. Not sure i want to tinker anymore. Might lose some mpg. Not a great fan of these cars.

What about the metal shavings made when drilling? Will they not cause damage?

Hi mate. Going to try this on a ford kuga 2l tdci with the sticking vanes problem. I know its been a while since you posted this video and I read somewhere that the ingredients have changed in the mr muscle cleaner. Apparently it has a lot less sodium hydroxide and does not foam up as much. I was wondering if it is still working for you, or have you found an alternative cleaner which might have more sodium hydroxide. Thanks and kind regards.Mark

Good clear instructions nice one on the upload mate Unfortunately I was made redundant and had to sell my car for which I had big plans for.. I've passed this info on to the gentleman I sold the car to..

Why do you have to drill into the end ? Can you not dot on the top where the vanes are ?
