Very good job explaining each step. Thank you!

You are also advised to replace the compensation ring whenever you disconnect the intake pipe from the turbo. It's about $30 and it's actually difficult to see/inspect unless you're actively looking for/at it - because it sits inside the pipe that is facing away from you.

Did you prime the fuel filter before you reinstalled it?

8:15 that clip had a tab at the top. Make sure to note its orientation. If I remember correctly it points towards the filter. 10:39 be very careful to not get debris in the turbo. Also, note its orientation also, take it apart and clean it and tube of oil, and the turbo flange. Reinstall pushing it all the way on, tighten clamp to 3Nm, which is shop talk for “not too tight dummy”, but snug, just not overly tight. Take note of the seals orientation when removing it from the tube, the thicker lip goes inside the tube.

I wonder if we are using that clip incorrectly. I saw a diagram (I think it was for this clip) that shows it in the release position when fully pushed in and in the locked position when pulled partly out.
That would make sense because then the clip would never have to be completely removed.

How often do you have to change it?

[@HelpingHandAutoRepair]

I would say every 60k miles

[@thisfinitelife]

I believe fuel filter change frequency is 20,000 miles.

[@ronkammann5136]

Every 20K miles. More ifrequently if you use/have used “iffy” fuel.
