Dear Mr Mozart, this video is nothing short of a symphonic masterpiece. I can't tell you how many times I ran through it looking for this detail or that. Fabulous job and a must for old farts like me who can't remember what went where on the re-assembly. fuentes8503 is right, THANKS for no music. Some videos make you feel like you're shopping at WalMart. I just need the details and tips. Thank you sooo much, I can't wait for the next T5 I have to tear apart...OK, maybe I should be careful what I wish for. Happy trails to you my friend!!
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! WHAT A GREAT EXPLAINATION OF REMOVING EVERYTHING, I'VE ONLY WATCHED PART ONE AND COVERS WHAT I NEED TO DO, I'LL BE WATCHING THE REST JUST TO SEE, all the other videos don't explain this much detail,they play music and fast play without explaining,THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Do you have to remove the intake from the head? Looks like it might be ok to leave it connected, then the gasket won't be disturbed. And just htf did you disconnect the plug from the ECU? Obviously you already disconnected it and plugged it back in 'barely' to show removing it. I don't have the orange disconnect thingy on mine, and it does not want to come out. Also the plug by the turbo, htf does that connector come up through to the top? It has some attachment that I can't see or undo, and I just cut the damn wires and will add a connector up top. So simple until its not and an hour to undo one connector is why I hate working on cars (after 40 years of it..)
Thank you for you question. For releiving the pressure, I pressed the schrader valve. Another way is, before starting to work on the engine, remove the fuse of the fuel pump or fuel pump relay, start the car and wait until it shuts off. This way you know there are no fuel in the system. Do not forget to reinstall the fuss.
Like he said above, it's super easy to just start the car then pull the fuel pump fuse and let it die on its own. Voila. But if your car's dead to begin with and you can't start it, then do it like he showed in the video.
Donmenello, thank you for your message. There is no trick, really, for pulling out the airbox. It is easier if you wiggle the box while pushin it to your right. Make sure it is out of its brakcets and all connections are loose.
@@moz-artcardiagnostics3314 Thank you. I propably know why in my car i need to use a lot of force. Propably my engine mountings are worn and engine is too low and the space to pull out airbox is smaller than in your car. Next time I will jack my engine a little and I think it should help.
While the V50 is formidable with the T5 in there, the engine is large enough to provide serious access issues like those 2 screws holding the power steering hoses on to the A/C compressor. but as for the airbox, i got so tired of messing with it, when I had it out I hack sawed the left (passenger side) locating pin clean off. the box went back in with little effort and best of all, the unit is just as tight now as before the "surgery".
Thank you for your question. A blocked PCV may cause oil color change, due to moisture not being removed from the system. What color is your engine oil?
2 years later and your video is still saving 5 cylinder lives 🙏
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this message. It is much appreciated.

Mister Bart Woodbridge. Thank you for your meesage/ encouragement. You are most welcome.
I love how you finish the steps saying “alright”… I would be cussing. Beautiful job and video 👍

Fuentes8503, thank you for your comment. Much appreciated.
Great video bro, i wish that you are my neighbor
Mr Zulcic. Thank you for the comment.
A friend and I were struggling to remove the turbo box last night. Did anybody else run into this?? It physically would fit out of the gap.

How did you relieve the pipe of fuel pressure? The part where you used the catch can?

My 2005 T5 v50 has a green and a brown wire at the end of the coil pac wiring, it goes down near the rear right side of engine...did you have this?
Mister Thomas, thank you for your message. Yes, I do have one pair of the wires going back of the engine, near the turbo intake duct.
How did you pull out the airbox so easily without using force? Is there any trick?

can bad PCV cause oil color change?
