@@CoolAirVw I dont have any codes :/ With the engine cold, i have very low pressure untill 2k rpms. When the engine is worm, the problem goes away almost immediately.. I didn't do the checks you did because I don't have any type of gauge to measure pressure.
Excellent! Thank you for taking the time to make such a clear and detailed video on this procedure! My TDI has a notchy turbo actuator lever, the vanes aren't completely stuck but definitely gummed up. I have done the oven cleaner treatment a couple times and it works well for a short while and then becomes gummed-up again. I need to pull it and do a proper disassembly and cleaning and your video has really helps me prepare for that. Thumbs-up and subscribed.
Just one tip do not use wire brush on the vanes better to let them soak in brake cleaner or other carbon cleaning substance and use a hard tooth brush, also the best tip of the hole video SAND THE EDGES OF THE VANES AND THE SURFACE THEY RIDE AGAINST IF THEY ARE STILL NOT MOVING FREELY, remember this assembly needs verry little force to move if it needs any at all
After i wached your video i took my turbo out of my car and i cleaned it .My car was overboosting like the one on your video.Now the car is runs perfectly.Thx for the info.
I've got one of these turbos which stopped boosting altogether. Had been meaning to take it apart and this has really helped set me up for whats needed. Cheers!
@@CoolAirVw oh it's too late for that, but thanks for the advice. That car is long gone, but I kept the unit as it was a hybrid turbo. The actuator won't move at all, not an inch. So I kept it as I wanted to pull it apart, but never got around to it
Big thanx from romania your video helpd me alot and i manage to fix my turo on audi A4 from 2003 by myself ath home love your videi thanx again and god job very helpful your video , your helpt me to save alot of mony

Excellent video , most informative one I’ve come across yet , I’m about to replace the whole cartridge on a turbo and I’m going to give your splitting technique a go ... thank you for sharing this!!
Great video. Thank you. Trying to build up the courage to do mine. Just scared of stripping the manifold to cylinder head bolts.. Have watched pretty much all of the vids on how to do this but yours is the most informative and realistic...Thank you
Very good video. The problem is often to R&R the damm turbo,the repair is easy by comparison; And here is lesson learned when you have a variable geometry turbo (means with those "11" moving small wings/vanes): Do a varied driving--- if you do city slow driving, find a stretch to floor it ,every hour or so; if high speed driving or towing,let off the gas often,to get those vanes moving; The first case tends to avoid the vanes getting stuck closed,no boost; The 2nd case,them getting stuck all open ,causing what we saw here,overboost; The worst invention ever for diesels,the EGR valve is mainly to blame for that problem,it makes the engine constantly re-ingest its own vomit,its own smoke over and over; If you only saw what the EGR can do on older cars,to clog up intake manifolds, throttle valves,cyl.head intake tract,valves, rings,etc to the point that the engine is choking and barely runs; it then pollutes *A LOT MORE* then if there was no EGR in the 1st place; this mainly due to the rings getting stuck with all that muck,and the cat.having seen better days; it's a tough decision bet. breaking the --LAW-- and eliminating --EGR-- (not easy on some cars,it turns the CEL on) or keeping it and facing those consequences...
Just came across this video, really well done, excellent explanation. I think my Mk5 2.0 TDI Golf has this problem, it's done a lot of km's and the last 18 months has been very short stop start distances with the engine hardly warming up. Engine light came on this morning with an "Emissions - Garage" warning. I hooked up my diagnostic scanner and got a DTC P0234, which is turbo overboost. So this video has been a great help, thanks for putting it up.
thank you so much for showing us how to diagnose the N75 and VGT actuator.. I'm working on a P0299 right now for my 05 Passat TDi BHW, and I'm at my wit's end.
When using the wire brush on the ring, it's a good idea to use it on the outside edge of the ring too. There are three (I think) raised portions that hold it in place and they are common places for carbon build up to cause sticking. Once reassembled the whole vnt mechanism should move with a VERY light touch, even gravity should be able to move it.
Brilliant!! So good to see a professional at work with good tips in real conditions, rather than some dumb kid fumbling around with zero technical knowledge. Most excellent production.
Excellent video! Very informative, and in depth. I'll be troubleshooting the overboost problem on my 03 pretty soon, but I'm sure it's going to be the same as the customers car in the vid just based on the high mileage. This vid has helped tons. Thank you
Our 2014 Crafter (120kw) has a similar intermittent overboost problem (code 023400). Thank you so much for pinpointing the proper diagnostics - we should be able to figure this one out now.
@@CoolAirVw The Crafter 2E series shares it's platform with the W906 Sprinter. The driveline (engine, transmission, differential, steering, etc.) is Volkswagen specific.
Thanks for the information - it gives me a good idea what is possibly wrong and what it may take to fix it. I have an 2005 Golf TDI with 490K km/360k miles on it.
Brilliant video. Liked! I tried the Mr Muscle oven cleaner trick a few days ago, so I'm hoping that may help. It certainly did free up the actuator a lot.
U helped me again ur video are 3 years at fuis point but I am benefiting after these years sir i have been looking for this this on Internet but didn't get until now
A Great video showing exactly how the variable vain turbo functions or in this case did not function... excellent thank you enjoyed it tremendously, wish you were my mechanic.
Great information. One faster way to save the graph image is using the Windows Snipping Tool for computers not using windows 10 (Start>All Programs>Accessories>Snipping Tool), in windows 10, use Snip and Sketch (Windows Menu> Type Snip and select the Snip and Sketch App).
Thank you so much for the insight into this type of turbo. I think this is what's wrong with my 320d unit. Rattling too, so it leads me to believe the actuator arm is loose in the ring also. I'll be attacking this job shortly!!
Is your 320d a variable geometry turbo or does it have a wastegate? Some Vw's have a wastegate and when it wears it rattles. See the following video. th-cam.com/video/kRHmjAD3JHc/w-d-xo.html
@@CoolAirVw It has an electronic actuator with the lever to rear of the exhaust housing. It howls & rattles on deceleration. Also when static & revving then letting the throttle off! Edit: Just checked & the lever is moving manually.
I don’t have a problem with the turbo but I was looking at timing and this video came up so I watched it and yes thank you a lot of good information always wondered how those veins work. Thanks again
CoolAirVw Rm Can you tell me why does a VW 1.9 TDI starts hard and when it is running it smokes white light crazy? I am wondering if one injector is not working right that makes all that smoke? Because we just did the timing and it is all correct. But number three cylinder has about 100 psi less compression as the others
CoolAirVw Rm Number three cylinder has 325 psi compression and the others have 425 So I thought maybe that low compression is making the smoke but it and it smokes all the way through the exhaust because of that one maybe not firing right. And I have to use starting fluid to get it started for it also has no throttle response. So thanks for that information but I’m probably going to take the injectors out and have them tested because they might be malfunction as well.
Very interesting video.. my turbo wasn't working and the mity-vac on the actuator wouldn't even hold vacuum. removed it and replaced with a new one. My vanes were notchy but I think it's because they haven't been going to the limits for a while so I'll try the Italian tune-up on it. I'm getting 15-16 inches of boost and the car feels like it did back in the day. I dissected the actuator and it was all rusted to the point where the diaphragm had a hole in it. Not sure how these things fill with water but that's their achilles heel. Thanks for posting!
@@CoolAirVw Thanks, I'm sure it will, I've been flooring it every chance I get and will take it on the highway for a good blowout on Wednesday. At least I know how to clean it thanks to the video. What anti seize paste do you use on the bolts that hold the turbo cartridge into the cast iron part?
On windows you can also use the snip it tool, this allows just to copy the part of the screen you want. Good video. You can also cut down on that screen flicker by playing the refresh rates on the computer and camera.
I tried changing screen settings. NO help. Once I changed camera settings and lost two videos! Maybe I'm technology challenged. My old laptop didn't make flicker.
I ran into what may not be common problem. I found the plate in the exhaust housing below the vane plate had rust developing under it. This was raising the plate just a few thousandths of an inch. So when I tightened the vane plate it would cause the vanes to stick. I found the sticking was gone when I loosened the screws holding the assembly together. So I removed the plate, cleaned the rust off and it works perfect now.
seen that before. unfortunatly sometimes when you pull the screws out of that plate the bolts break. At that point it might become a replacement turbo. We try not to pull those bolts if we dont have to.
Sure if your doing it yourself. Maybe oven cleaner will fix it if yours is "just barely" stuck. maybe if your doing it yourself and don't have to GUARANTEE to a customer that it will be FIXED. Maybe if your reputation doesn't rely on fixing it right the first time.
A tip to save parts of screen quicker, use snipping tools, they are already installed in all windows starting from windows vista all the way to windows 10, it allows you to capture the specific screen area that you want without needing to use paint.
Good video. Looks like a Garrett GT VNT. Seen a few of these sticking or seized vanes on Ford Galaxy/VW Sharan TDi mpv in the UK. This issue can throw up an air mass sensor fault even though nothing actually wrong with the air mass sensor - it's just sticking vanes affecting air flow (and boost).
loved the video man, you go into the perfect amount of detail, i really enjoyed watching you take the vnt mechanism apart... will be trying it on my channel sometime soon with my tdi audi.
Sticking every now and then is what mine is doing. I replaced the actuator that was rusted up, checked the vac on the new one (20” vac to the stop starting moving at 3” vac etc) so I know that’s right, but still getting a very occasional overboost limp mode after planting my right foot to high revs. Strange thing is the mechanism is free as a bird without the actuator attached, so I can only assume the tolerances close up when it gets hot?
Have u ever had to replace a turbo that's failed ..like filled the intercooler with engine oil also the exhaust system...watt direction of repair would u recommend thks ..awesome video nice to see a mechanic at work
Yes I have. used or new turbo, or upgrade to larger turbo. Flush out intercooler and tubing. beware that if it pushed large quantities of oil out then it could have damaged the engine, either by low oil, or bending a rod or runaway.
People do that when they are attempting to repair with out pulling the turbo. ITs partially effective. No need when the turbo is disassembled. If you don't want the hassle of pulling the turbo sure, try it. Give it your best shot.. Some of the ones we do are stuck solid and no amount of sprayed in oven cleaner is gonna free them up. You cant get the oven cleaner all the way in there with the turbo installed, and if you remove the turbo you might as well clean it "mechanically" the way we did in this video.
There is no published spec. You'll have to wing it like everyone else. But I have had some that I actually had to loosen in order to keep the vanes from "dragging".
oven cleaner then leave it on a while it melts carbon off , hit with an old tooth brush and leave it again it will be like new and rinse off with ega cleaner
@@CoolAirVw didn't record it lol, dead easy though using that stuff, try it on something with heavy carbon on it, it just melts it off works very well even better than egr cleaner, some common sense needs tobe used though as you don't want it hitting rubber parts for too long if it does heavy rinse it, you wont need to wire brush again that's for sure
This is interesting because it is the first time I have seen this kind of complicated "wastegate" mechanism. My queation is how is it lubricated to prevent it from siezing or carboning up again as it is in the hot section? Surely a traditional valve type wastegate is more reliable.
Best method for keeping it clean is the italian tune up. Drive it hard at least once per drive. Exercise the mechanism from full boost position to low boost position frequently to keep it moving. Heavy throttle useage "burns out" the carbon. Light throttle driving or "lugging" the engine tends to make carbon build up and mechanism to stick. Wastegate mechanism on 2.0 TSI/FSI is problematic more so than these.
I've tried with that laptop. No settings change the flicker. But I've got a new laptop that doesn't do that, plus I use a screen recorder usually for screen shots
@@CoolAirVw I see ... Well idk any other way except if the screen of the laptop is 60 hrz then shoot in 60 or more fps or hrz. It is the same fps hrz and refresh rate 😂 😂 it is stupid but it is like that Match the hrz refresh rates or fps on the phone. And for screen recordings that doesn't matter. It happens only when you look in display through camera I know that I am boring and I am sorry !!!
@@ChudGippity No! I appreciate the help and it should have fixed it when someone told me that years ago, but unfortunately I believe the graphics card isn't capable. But screen recording doesn't' use camera so no flicker there.
Nice informative video how did you oil line come off at the top of the turbo my luck has been pretty zilch usually the bottom fitting turns and I try with heat to get it to crack loose but usually I have to replace the line in the long run ?
The fitting spinning is definitely a problem and happens a lot. We do this all the time so long ago we took a 17 wrench and ground it down to fit to hold the fitting from spinning. Sometimes you have to put the wrench "in there" then spin the nut, line and fitting together to get the flats of the nut to the right position to get the wrench on there. You can also remove the line from the other side and pull it out with the turbo, but that requires slight reshaping of the line to get it out and then bending it back into shape.
CoolAirVw Rm good idea about grounding down a wrench I think I will do that to have one myself just to have cause I don’t do turbos every day but I will have to take my Alh Beetle off as it’s sticking any throwing codes of over boost been procrastinating because the cooler line
@@martinlavoie4002 Its easier to just chop out the original oil feed line and throw it away..They slways end up kinking or splitting. Vw recommend replacing them every time (they would) but you could get an aftermarket braided one 800mm long with two banjo fittings for sbout $30
I know these turbos commonlyh last 300k or more. They can stick like this one early though because of driving style. Once per drive get on it hard WOT for as long as is safe like as your on the entrance ramp to the hiway. this exercised the vanes to max and min travel plus burns out carbon build up. Tdi drivers tend to be MPG concious, and so this is common.
@@CoolAirVw Thanks' for the info. That's made me Happy. Recently purchased 2012 MK5 TDI Polo 80,000k New to me, just getting familiar with the sounds the engine makes, so should be good for a while yet.
As the fix was to remove the carbon build up to free up the vein guides.Could you not leave the turbo on the car,remove the exhaust down pipe from the turbo, fill it with a caustic soda foam (oven cleaner), leave it to break down the carbon, flush it out with water,repeat then run the engine at idle to remove any water/caustic soda?

Oven cleaner method saves alot of time and work.
Sure if your doing it yourself. Maybe oven cleaner will fix it if yours is "just barely" stuck. maybe if your doing it yourself and don't have to GUARANTEE to a customer that it will be FIXED. Maybe if your reputation doesn't rely on fixing it right the first time.
Brilliantly explained,thank you for this info.
appreciate the positive comment
Brilliant video which explains in good detail.
Thanks! Soon I'll be posting what I consider my best diagnosis video. Stay tuned.
@@CoolAirVw I look forward to it.
A tip to save parts of screen quicker, use snipping tools, they are already installed in all windows starting from windows vista all the way to windows 10, it allows you to capture the specific screen area that you want without needing to use paint.
Excellent info. Thanks for sharing.
Good video. Looks like a Garrett GT VNT. Seen a few of these sticking or seized vanes on Ford Galaxy/VW Sharan TDi mpv in the UK. This issue can throw up an air mass sensor fault even though nothing actually wrong with the air mass sensor - it's just sticking vanes affecting air flow (and boost).
good to know. thanks
Very informative and well made video, thanks!
thanks for watching.
Wow 😮 good video I have boost problem on my Audi and tnx to you now I know what to do
Thanks!
Great video. best on here with this type of turbo. thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I just serviced my Garret GT2052V from my Nissan Patrol ZD30DI.

A must video for everyone who has a tdi
Great video, i learned a lot. Thank you very much :)
Thank you for watching
The turbo is cleaner than your work bench!!
Yeah, I cleaned my workbench once.
Entire reason I run water methanol injection. 32cc nozzle ( smallest available) Keeps everything clean and healthy
cool.
Thanks for the mint video.. this definitely helped a lot of people
thanks for wathcing.
thanks for your information and efforts
thanks!
Sticking every now and then is what mine is doing. I replaced the actuator that was rusted up, checked the vac on the new one (20” vac to the stop starting moving at 3” vac etc) so I know that’s right, but still getting a very occasional overboost limp mode after planting my right foot to high revs. Strange thing is the mechanism is free as a bird without the actuator attached, so I can only assume the tolerances close up when it gets hot?
Is the hole on the actuator binding on the lever?
Excellent video
thanks you.
Have u ever had to replace a turbo that's failed ..like filled the intercooler with engine oil also the exhaust system...watt direction of repair would u recommend thks ..awesome video nice to see a mechanic at work
Yes I have. used or new turbo, or upgrade to larger turbo. Flush out intercooler and tubing. beware that if it pushed large quantities of oil out then it could have damaged the engine, either by low oil, or bending a rod or runaway.
Cool vid. Instead of using Print Screen and editing the pic, you can use the Snip tool and capture only what you want and save it directly to a file.
Ok, I'll try that.
Many thanks. This video helps me.
Your welcome. Thanks for watching and the kind comment.
Would you recomend putting oven cleaner on the vanes?
People do that when they are attempting to repair with out pulling the turbo. ITs partially effective. No need when the turbo is disassembled. If you don't want the hassle of pulling the turbo sure, try it. Give it your best shot.. Some of the ones we do are stuck solid and no amount of sprayed in oven cleaner is gonna free them up. You cant get the oven cleaner all the way in there with the turbo installed, and if you remove the turbo you might as well clean it "mechanically" the way we did in this video.
@@CoolAirVw thanku so much,great vids,wish I where more near you.
Ultra Sonic cleaner to free up and clean ring, vanes, and roller spacers
excellent idea.
Hi can you recommend one specifically for car components?
21:00 What is the tightening torque that you give to those screws? just make it soft?
Thank you very much for the instructive video, regards
There is no published spec. You'll have to wing it like everyone else. But I have had some that I actually had to loosen in order to keep the vanes from "dragging".
@@CoolAirVw My VNT 17 I had to loosen it a bit, that's why I asked, thank you very much =)
Nice video! very detailed! thanks
thanks for watching
oven cleaner then leave it on a while it melts carbon off , hit with an old tooth brush and leave it again it will be like new and rinse off with ega cleaner
Please post your video.
@@CoolAirVw didn't record it lol, dead easy though using that stuff, try it on something with heavy carbon on it, it just melts it off works very well even better than egr cleaner, some common sense needs tobe used though as you don't want it hitting rubber parts for too long if it does heavy rinse it, you wont need to wire brush again that's for sure
Thank YOU. Good video and information !
thank you.
thank you for great detail video
Your welcome! Thanks for watching.
This is interesting because it is the first time I have seen this kind of complicated "wastegate" mechanism. My queation is how is it lubricated to prevent it from siezing or carboning up again as it is in the hot section? Surely a traditional valve type wastegate is more reliable.
Best method for keeping it clean is the italian tune up. Drive it hard at least once per drive. Exercise the mechanism from full boost position to low boost position frequently to keep it moving. Heavy throttle useage "burns out" the carbon. Light throttle driving or "lugging" the engine tends to make carbon build up and mechanism to stick. Wastegate mechanism on 2.0 TSI/FSI is problematic more so than these.
Mr Proper cleaning perfect 😂😂
Awe shucks!
The display flickers bc it has lower refresh rate than the camera settings are set.
Just adjust the settings for refresh or some comps call it hrz
I've tried with that laptop. No settings change the flicker. But I've got a new laptop that doesn't do that, plus I use a screen recorder usually for screen shots
@@CoolAirVw I see ... Well idk any other way except if the screen of the laptop is 60 hrz then shoot in 60 or more fps or hrz.
It is the same fps hrz and refresh rate 😂 😂 it is stupid but it is like that
Match the hrz refresh rates or fps on the phone. And for screen recordings that doesn't matter. It happens only when you look in display through camera
I know that I am boring and I am sorry !!!
@@ChudGippity No! I appreciate the help and it should have fixed it when someone told me that years ago, but unfortunately I believe the graphics card isn't capable. But screen recording doesn't' use camera so no flicker there.
@@CoolAirVw Yes!
Love your vids
@@ChudGippity thanks
nice video !big thumb for job!
Thanks for watching.
Nice job 😀👍👍👍
Thanks!
I’m learning, excellent video
I have a 2002 golf tdi which every so often has over boost.. so I will be cleaning the turbo and seeing if this fixes the problem
Let me know how it goes! Might do the same
throw it in bin
Did you clean it yet. I have the same car and issue
Awesome video.
Thanks for watching.
Nice informative video how did you oil line come off at the top of the turbo my luck has been pretty zilch usually the bottom fitting turns and I try with heat to get it to crack loose but usually I have to replace the line in the long run ?
The fitting spinning is definitely a problem and happens a lot. We do this all the time so long ago we took a 17 wrench and ground it down to fit to hold the fitting from spinning. Sometimes you have to put the wrench "in there" then spin the nut, line and fitting together to get the flats of the nut to the right position to get the wrench on there. You can also remove the line from the other side and pull it out with the turbo, but that requires slight reshaping of the line to get it out and then bending it back into shape.
CoolAirVw Rm good idea about grounding down a wrench I think I will do that to have one myself just to have cause I don’t do turbos every day but I will have to take my Alh Beetle off as it’s sticking any throwing codes of over boost been procrastinating because the cooler line
@@martinlavoie4002 Its easier to just chop out the original oil feed line and throw it away..They slways end up kinking or splitting. Vw recommend replacing them every time (they would) but you could get an aftermarket braided one 800mm long with two banjo fittings for sbout $30
Jam a flat bladed screwdriver between the fitting and the body of the turbo to stop it spinning.
Nice video very useful sir
thanks for watching
Excellent Info, How many miles on that vehicle, How long should I expect my turbo to last, mileage wise?
I know these turbos commonlyh last 300k or more. They can stick like this one early though because of driving style. Once per drive get on it hard WOT for as long as is safe like as your on the entrance ramp to the hiway. this exercised the vanes to max and min travel plus burns out carbon build up. Tdi drivers tend to be MPG concious, and so this is common.
@@CoolAirVw Thanks' for the info. That's made me Happy. Recently purchased 2012 MK5 TDI Polo 80,000k New to me, just getting familiar with the sounds the engine makes, so should be good for a while yet.
As the fix was to remove the carbon build up to free up the vein guides.Could you not leave the turbo on the car,remove the exhaust down pipe from the turbo, fill it with a caustic soda foam (oven cleaner), leave it to break down the carbon, flush it out with water,repeat then run the engine at idle to remove any water/caustic soda?
No but you can.
Hello, thanks for the video - were those ordinary steel wire brush wheels u used for the cleaning? - Thanks
yes
