Great video, anybody can replace parts with a new part but not everyone can repair them and this is what I enjoy doing repairing parts instead of wasting money on buying new parts, you learn so much more about the parts you’re repairing and is so much fulfilling. Good job 👍
I doubt if any mechanic would do this job.. and yes ending with changing parts without results, taking mony from customer.. thank you sir for your sharing of your knowledge
This is a very professional repair and after many more miles if the waste gate becomes loose again, you can just adjust it tighter like you did. Brilliant!
MATE! you won't believe how long i've been wondering what that noise was, well looks like a big xmas job for me. Thanks a lot for the detailed diy! will definitely follow that, very clear guide!
I did this job a while ago when i saw these kits came out. I didn't see the turbo smart part! I ended grinding off the pin on the end and having a machine shop make a new one and tack it back on. I took out the bushing with a long bolt same way but with the impact. It came out without having to drill the roll pin. I didn't even know it had one. The pin fell out after in 2 parts.
I have been looking the video like this none of them showing as best as yours, absolutely great video I ever found, none of them showing professional ways how to repair the turbo,, well done Sir. Salute 🙏.
That's a remarkably complete video, crushed it... Mine will likely come apart for a similar repair soon, have an intermittent P0299. Thanks for posting 👍
Could probably run a business rebuilding these wastegates offering over half off from full turbo replacement.(have mechanic do this for 250 bucks or buy 1000 dollar turbo kit)
Great video! Inspired me to do it and it went easier for me to get that bushing out. You can use a punch or a bolt to hammer the bushing out instead of trying to extract it. Plenty of room in the housing. I might need to replace later on as the housing is cracked at the wastgate opening unfortunately.
Brilliant, thanks for sharing! Now have the confidence to give this a crack (under boost fault). Now to search high and wide for the elusive correct part for an SQ5 '15. Cheers!
One year on… how’s it holding up? I noticed one of the comments on the repair kit said it was magnetic, yet the original is stainless. I’m wondering if that has any effect on the longevity? Thanks for the great video - I agree it’s a complete waste to replace a whole turbo for a bush (or bushing, as us yanks call them!)
nicely done !!! well explained thxs for the parts info looked bit awkward but nothing that cant be done good repair without mega expense . result briefly how you get the plugs leads off with damage to the coil packs if you can do vid on that be helpful thxs again Good Job !!!
Great video... very detailed 😊 i had mine fixed by my local turbo repair shop in South Africa and no im sitting with fluctuating boost at higher RPMs...they eventually also put a adjustable rod on but for some reason its still doing it but alot less thou, should it be adjusted tighter?
Can this repair do on my caxa turbo wastegate?.. looks identical..I've been greasing it here and there ...but this is brilliant.. excellent workmanship...I'm sure my tsi 1.4 very similar
12:08 This is exactly how I thought I would repair a K03 turbo but how does one prevent the shaft from wearing on the bushing? It seems that the bushing is made from a material that is too hard for the shaft but should be made from a softer material such as a valve guide for example.
Hi! First of all nice and useful video Did you have problem creating a M6 thread in the 1/4 UNF? Did you removed the previous thread with a drill or did you just forced the M6 male in the UNF thread?
I’ve actually just done this job again. No problem running an M6 tap straight through the 1/4 UNC internal thread. BUT the clearance of the shaft to internal was a bit large so I had to weld on an additional M6 nut to the Clevis so thread could be locked for adjustment.
Thanks for your reply! So if I understand well the welded nut is to ensure a better thread to the shaft. Could it be a good idea to weld the extra nut with an M6 screw inside to have the threads alligned?
epc on my audi a3 comes on at cold start. i figured it was the acutator that got stuck or something but mor likely to be the wastegate right? hmm, i turn on the engine with a little gas, and no epc but i also rev it to 3000rpm everytime i start the engine.
I just got a new turbo in my Seat Leon 1,4 tsi 150 (pretty much a golf engine) but its as if the Wastegate arm still makes a little sound. Is it true that its ok for the Wastegate to be a little loose when the engine is off, but has to be completly silent and locked when I turn on the engine? Because I noticed it still makes a little ratlle (once in a while), when I drive. Please help me😊
As long as your not loosing boost it probably doesn’t matter if it rattles occasionally. Just annoying! You could probably file the wastegate mounting holes then adjust to put a bit of pre-load on the push rod to stop the rattle. Also fitting that clip does help a lot too.
@@PetesWorkshop i've noticed that the rattle only comes when i push the brakes slightly and its down to 15- 10 mph. It does it three times. But Is that the same ? Or is it something else? Its not a sound from the brakes, Im pretty sure
@@TheWatersLundParty I’m really not sure. You could disconnect the pressure hose from the waste gate actuator (block off the open end) and drive it for a bit. Be careful though as your boost will spike high.
Thats alot of work for just a waste gate flap. Great info though I have mk6 jetta 1.8t almost identical as that engine. And it seems it would be much more easy to replace turbo. Great job though!!!
Highly unlikely! Most mechanics are only interested in swapping parts rather than repairing mechanical failures. You can sure ask though as some mechanics will do this kind of repair.
Pete, are the wear problems due to poor alloys? I don't think that the Mack trucks and JD tractors are prone to these failures. Would you expect to do this repair again as a repair to the repair? Thanks, Dennis
Hi Pete, thanks for the great video, I have a spare turbo that I will give a new waste gate flapper. I only have one question. Which diameter of drill did you use to drill the hole for the new roll pin? 3mm or a little less? Kind regards ☺️
So everyone whos adding a clipper says that eventually the turbo will fail, would it still fail eventually with this process? Or it fixes the failure issue?
I think very few mechanics would consider doing this work. I guess it would take approximately 4-6 hrs, to remove the turbo, do the work, replace the turbo with new seals and gaskets. Its not going to be cheap. Unless you do it yourself. Good luck.
Herkese merhaba, Seat Leon FR 1.5EcoTSI 150ps act aracımda cold startta şıngırdama veya zırıl zırıl bir ses vardı sürekli kafamı kurcalıyordu ama bir türlü çözemiyordum bu videoyu izleyince sorunun kaynağını öğrendim ve gidip hemen kontrol ettim ve evet wastegate milinden geliyor ses ve elimle sabitlediğimde geçiyor. Bu bilgide ihtiyacı olan birilerine ilaç gibi gelecektir.
My car has the same issue I believe is this not supposed to be driven just got the check engine light a few days ago replaced DV and that wasn’t it believe it is this issue
Very novel work indeed...except that, for that process one would think to just purchase a new turbo as the cost of this repair and sourcing would cost more than a new turbo.
It's "BUSHING" NOT "BUSH", mate. Please, man correct yourself for any future videos. You are doing pro-level repairs and service, however your jargon is making you sound like an amateur. Bravo on the outstanding diagnosis and repair/service you've performed here. I just bought a 2008 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro Cabriolet with 121,200 mi. on it for $3,450US, a few days ago. I don't trust its previous owner so I think I'm going to service its turbo after performing some basic maintenance on it (oil/filter change, "light" tune-up of checking and cleaning its coil packs, maybe replacing spark plugs if they're bad, etc. topping off ALL fluids, etc) In the Fall I plan on repairing all the stuff I KNOW is broken or inoperable on it, such as the electric roof, auto-trunk, etc.

Great job. Good to see things being repaired rather than just replaced.
Absolutely. That pretty much sums up me! Thanks Pete.
I always thought a turbo could not be saved. Good job!
It always depends on what the failure point is. Thank you.
Good point!@@PetesWorkshop
Great video, and very professional job. The best actuator repair I seen in yt.
Thank you very much.

Love the background music 🎵
Nicely done. Way to be able to problem solve so well
Great video.
I did exactly the same on a bmw m135i turbo
Thank you so much ! Just neeed it ! And one more suggestion is best to use copper head to hit the bush into the housing instead of steel harmer
Yes a soft faced hammer would be perfect. Thanks for sharing.
mate, awesome video! Greetings from Sydney! I need to get this done asap!

can i reuse the turbo oil lines if they are not damaged?
Nice work Sir! Thank you for sharing 🙏
Can this repair do on my caxa turbo wastegate?.. looks identical..I've been greasing it here and there ...but this is brilliant.. excellent workmanship...I'm sure my tsi 1.4 very similar
@@Paucomle I’m not sure. Best to try and find the parts for that turbo. I’m sure the process will be very much the same.

The clip is the only way to prevent it
@@Spindaoppblock So, by preventing wear in the actuator arm, the waste gate shaft wear is reduced?
Woooow great job 👌🏻🤝🏻🔥
you are really a great master ..

@@mrwest77 yes you could rather weld on a M6 (or even better a 1/4 UNC) bolt to the shaft.
Well done.
That's amazing. What is the bushing made of? Although your process is brilliant, have you considered drilling the old bushing out?
I think it is just steel. ‘Pulling’ the old bushing out is much easier than drilling it (in my opinion).
@@PetesWorkshop The pulling tool was brilliant, nice work
I just replaced my bushing today, hammering it through with a drift worked fine to get the old bushing out and was quick.
epc on my audi a3 comes on at cold start. i figured it was the acutator that got stuck or something but mor likely to be the wastegate right? hmm, i turn on the engine with a little gas, and no epc but i also rev it to 3000rpm everytime i start the engine.
Why did u bother taking out the bushing?
@@scotts6955 because it was very worn. The shaft wears and the bushing wears.
Great video, thank you !
God Bless You!
The parts for the wastegate kit are out of order ! Are you aware of an equilivent kit?
You can find them on Amazon or Ebay that's where I purchased mine
Smart nice video
Doing this right now, how tight should the wastegate flapper be to the housing ?
Just touching plus a little bit more.
does the 2.0l TDI suffer the same issue?
@@worbarry9735 No. they use a variable vane turbo. They have sticking/seizing problems.
I just got a new turbo in my Seat Leon 1,4 tsi 150 (pretty much a golf engine) but its as if the Wastegate arm still makes a little sound.
Is it true that its ok for the Wastegate to be a little loose when the engine is off, but has to be completly silent and locked when I turn on the engine? Because I noticed it still makes a little ratlle (once in a while), when I drive. Please help me😊

Yep same engine just diff crank and pistons. Slightly diff turbo I think. Easier to replace, yes and also more than 10 times the cost.
@PetesWorkshop yes it is. But if I take the turbo off then I mine as well replace it due to only having 1 vehicle lol great job though
will my mechanic do this if i buy the part
Highly unlikely! Most mechanics are only interested in swapping parts rather than repairing mechanical failures. You can sure ask though as some mechanics will do this kind of repair.
Pete, are the wear problems due to poor alloys? I don't think that the Mack trucks and JD tractors are prone to these failures.
Would you expect to do this repair again as a repair to the repair? Thanks, Dennis
Because I used the Turbosmart adjustable clevis, I doubt that I will ever need to replace the wastegate actuator. Perhaps just adjust it.
Thought my timing chain was going .. but no codes .. rattled on down revs .. turns out this is it .. (b8 a5 coupe 2.0 tfsi)
Will a waste gate issues give a rich code as well P0172?
I’m not sure about that
9:47 next time put a bolt in the bushing to protect it from hammering...
Not hammering, ‘Just tap in. Tap tap taparoo’ hehe
@@PetesWorkshop ya, great job! keep doing it that way! To put a bolt in as protection would have too many disadvantages anyway...
Hi Pete, thanks for the great video, I have a spare turbo that I will give a new waste gate flapper. I only have one question. Which diameter of drill did you use to drill the hole for the new roll pin? 3mm or a little less?
Kind regards ☺️
3mm drill bit is fine.
@@PetesWorkshop thanks a lot ☺️. So 3mm drill and a 3mm roll pin should do the trick.
So everyone whos adding a clipper says that eventually the turbo will fail, would it still fail eventually with this process? Or it fixes the failure issue?
Hello is there an alternative for the turbo smart part I they don’t ship in Europe thx
I am not sure sorry. You may have to make the part.
Any suggestions if I can't weld?
If you prep it and set it up it is a 2min job for someone that can weld. It could even be done with a stick welder.
How much did this improve the car??
I rarely had low boost issues but the rattle really annoyed me because I knew exactly what the problem was. So much better when that rattle is gone.
Perfect.
I got myself a clip that I put on mine, works like a charm. :)
This sounds good, but please explain further. What did you use the clip for? What kind of clip? Where did you put the clip? Thanks!
Epc light??
Very rarely I would get a check engine light with low boost warning
@@PetesWorkshopthank you😊
10:56 that's what she said
How much would this job cost? Think mechanics would even do it?
I think very few mechanics would consider doing this work. I guess it would take approximately 4-6 hrs, to remove the turbo, do the work, replace the turbo with new seals and gaskets. Its not going to be cheap. Unless you do it yourself. Good luck.

Hey mate. Unlikely to cause engine damage if you keep driving. Just annoying rattle and lower engine power.
I feel bad for all the people who got sold a new turbo when this was all that it needed.
Blame the mechanics for not fixing it and the Audi dealer makes ALOT of money
wish I had the tools
