I've done a 13' A5 at 34xxx miles same wastegate issue it was a pain being my first time doing it and everything went well once done but I honestly have to say it's a pretty good position overall other than those damn down pipe bolts lol
As usual, an informative, real life, how it's done, instead of pointing at parts and guessing how they come apart. A credit to youtube Dave, but where the heck have you went to?
Great video! Thank you! The hose on the high pressure side that you had cracked... mine is also broken and I'm not sure what to call it to order a new one. Please help and thank you again!
I’ve been watching these videos between you and Robert DIY and I have gotten nowhere. Basic work was showed but A lot of the vital information was skipped
@DW Red, I like your video , easy to follow. are all the Turbos from 98 to 05 basically the same turbo for the 1.8T ? I found an 05 Passat at the junk yard and the Turbo looks way better than mine, my turbo leaks from the front as well. I have an AEB engine and I think this 05 Passat is either ATW or another. My car still runs relatively good but not as awesome as when you could audibly hear the turbo spooling up.
6:39 this might be a AEB engine it got a wire to the trottle. I have one Audi 1998 with AEB and one Passat 2000 with APU engine. The APU got electronic trottle.
I've got a problem with my turbo, I'm trying to install it back to the exhaust manifold and it wont line up correctly. I've thought about bolting the exhaust back to it and then taking the mounts off to get more play with it, any suggestions?
Just bought a 2001 Audi A4 with a turbo with almost 200k miles on it. I have no boost gauge and I'm not sure I'm getting any boost at all, I'm feeling a hiccup in power around 2800 rpm and then it returns to normal acceleration. Could I just have a boost leak or do you think I should replace it or should I not worry about it? I'm not really smelling anything bad and not noticing any leaks and I've only had it for a couple days.
David if the gas pedal its almost on the floor and late acceleration.its possible the turbo charger is not working? My Car is 2005 Audi A4 1.8.and they have a code p0299
How did you learn all of this stuff? I would love to know as much as you do about cars. But besides TH-cam videos I don't have much experience. I have a car but like it's my pride and joy that gets me to work 5 days a week. And I feel like I would mess it up just taking the airbox out lol. Hopefully eventually I want to get a super cheap junk car that I can just take apart whenever I want without worrying.
You talk about making sure you shut the valve off on the front grill. I see a little plastic switch there but I have no idea what it is, what it does, or which way is off or on. Any help on that would be great. This was really helpful by the way.
at the 7.00 mark im must be talking about its a drain in the front of the radiator to drain the coolant you get to it by pulling the lower black grill trim around the the fog light on the drivers side and you'll see a plug that takes a flat head screwdriver to loosen th-cam.com/video/UW-qVpb7wBA/w-d-xo.html
It’s something you mention at like 7:27 of turning off a valve and “shutting off the grill.”. There is a little plastic switch behind the grill that I’ve never known what it is for. Wasn’t sure if it is some kind of shutoff or what.
Right, I'm better off not taking turbo off entirely. I need to change my actuator and wanted to inspect the valve by the exhaust does it moves freely and does it close and open fully. But i think this is better off doing in a garage.
I'm making a video recreating this one but newer, and hopefully better quality camera. Probably going to try and answer a few of the questions I had when I tried this the first time. Hopefully it won't take me too long! Haha!
Noah Hassenzahl Michigan unfortunately didn’t end up making it, it’s a bit of a pain to replace tbh. Replaced it but then the engine went shortly after
Hello. I have a VW passat b5 1.8 20v but without turbo (92kw), 17 years and 111,000 kms, the engine always tell me that it is fine. Watching the video I see that the engine is the same as mine except for the turbo conico air filter on the left side, the turbo, etc ... My question is this: how complex would it be to install the turbo and related parts to convert my 1.8kvv engine from 92kw to 1.8kvv from 110kw? Since the engine it with turbo it mount several models of VW, audi, seat and skoda; So that would have access to much spare parts in scrapping. Regards, and thank you very much.
Quite a bit.. the computer is not set for a turbo so you would need all the turbo parts plus you'll need to get a ECM /Computer tuned for the turbo set up. if they sell your type of passat where you live with a turbo option you couls search salvage yards for all the parts. manifold,turbo, oil pan,exhaust down pipe,Computer,
yeah, sorry I forgot to speak about electronics (the new parameters for the ECU...) but; for reprogram the ECU, i will need a new ECU or just the computer with the software of 1.8 turbo sets? Basically the new parts like: manifold, exhaust downpipe and oil pan, are necessary for the excess pressure caused by the turbo itself, right?
Please share any knowledge the uploader may have not shared in the vid. I am planning a month in advance. Is it necessary to weld or buy the "special" wrench or can you fit a universal joint and shallow socket into the space at 4:00? Did you use a Haynes Manual in conjunction with the vid?
Greg sees I didn't make any special tools and I didn't have to use a manual. Removing a turbo is pretty much the same on any vehicle equipped with one. Just have to remember, it gets oil in (some get water too), oil return, air in and air out (exhaust). Then you have your internal wastegate that gets vacuum.
Broh am about to change the turbo because is getting red when it get hot and my car lost power u think change it the turbo is going to fix .the problem
heres a question i hope someone can answer. im going to look at an 03 A4 and the guy is halfway thru this process. can the car be started with the turbo off to see if the motor runs? i think it will. it will just be mad. but i dont know about the fancy german stuff haha
I cringed when he said he had to remove the compressor. Wish he knew about front end service mode. Hopefully the Freon wasn't too costly and he didn't vent to the atmosphere!
YOU SEEM TO BE THE TURBO GUY ON UTUBE. I HAVE A 2001 A4 QUATTO. I HAVE OIL LEAKING OUT FROM THE FRONT OF TURBO. THANKS TO YOUR VEDIO I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE TURBO. DOESN,T SEEM LIKE ANY OF THE LINES LEAKING. HOW EVER FRONT BLACK HOSE IN THE TURBO HAD A LOT OF OIL IN IT DO YOU THINK I COULD HAVE A BAD TURBO NO SMOKE COMING FROM EXHAUST.
I'm about the remove the turbo from my '01 Passat for extreme lack of power and engine pinging. It happened all of a suddent two days ago. No engine light or codes. What were the symptoms on this car?
hook a vacum gauge to a vacum line drive it and see what kind of boos it makes.on a hard acceleration it should make 13-18lbs of boost if not check for a leak before pulling turbo off .
My car has been dumping a white smoke from the exhaust if I let the car idle for about 10-15 minutes and when I go to accelerate the car almost pauses before accelerating and then it doesn’t have the power it used to… I have a 2002 VW Passat 1.8t awm engine.. I had VAG code 17964 in my check engine lights.. does this sound like it would be the turbo? I don’t want to blow up my car… how long does it usually take a fairly inexperienced part time fixer of their own car to do a job like that?
Hey I have a problem with my 01 manual passat, everytime I accelerate and the revolutions get near 2000, I hear a scratching sound, my local mechanic told me the catalytic was begin to go bad. A different mechanic told me my turbo was begin to go bad. Any ideas of what it might be???
Here are the 3 gaskets and numbers I needed for my 99 Audi A4. Found these parts at fcpeuro.com. Audi Volkswagen Turbocharger Gasket - CRP 06A253039E Turbocharger Oil Line Gasket Upper - Elring 058145757C Audi VW Turbo Exhaust Gasket - Eberspaecher 8D0253115
Thanks so much for your video, really helped me. Just finished putting a new turbo on the car, runs great. No more smoking, missing and lots more power. NOTES from my 99 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8T AEB: I didn't have to take the AC compressor off. To get around the oil return line issue, I disconnected it at the oil pan, was easier. I disconnected the coolant hose (banjo line) FROM THE ENGINE (hose clamp) after loosening the turbo housing for more space, easier to finagle that stuff at the bench. I easily got the exhaust bolts off with a socket, I "luckily" didn't need to make the special box wrench tool you made because my car is built different. Your video made the job a lot easier..... thought I'd add my 2 cents. Thanks DW!
I have poroblem with my turbo when I drive mu passat 1.8t 3-4 km my turbo be a red and hot and catalyst is red tell me what is a problem if you know please Tomorrow I'll take a picture and I'll send you pictures.
Great To See You Back Dave.
Your video help a lot. These engine compartment are so cramped. it's hard to figure this shit out when you can't move around.
Very helpful video thanks!!
This video helped a lot thank you
Dude it's been a while!!!
I've done a 13' A5 at 34xxx miles same wastegate issue it was a pain being my first time doing it and everything went well once done but I honestly have to say it's a pretty good position overall other than those damn down pipe bolts lol

thanks..
Great video! Thank you!
The hose on the high pressure side that you had cracked... mine is also broken and I'm not sure what to call it to order a new one. Please help and thank you again!
thanks red!good vid!
Good stuff!
don't forget to line up after finish make sure you line up with fresh synthetic oil
nice video! just the fact that someday ill have to remplace it... jajaja but its OK except by the 3 bolts that attach to the catalytic
someone can tell me what sizes are the two npt conections (water and oil) and where I can find it. thanks!!
Where do you buy that special heat resistant hose 15ft at a time

What size of bolts is it on the turbo on part 3:47
Do u have a video for the throttle body?
Hey, how did you lose the screw of the exhaust part? there are three bolts..i mean the one next to the cylinder head?
Hi, you know if this particular car has an egr? I purchase an egr on ebay but I can't find it on my 98 passat.
I wish that this dude stayed in Atlanta

The Big K That's a very smart idea. Nothing to lose that way. If you have enough time that junk car will become the good one. :p
you dont learn unless you break stuff..
The Big K All you need to do is get a manual on your car and you will do fine.

Do you have any turbos for sale uk uk
Got sea sick trying to watch.

Where’s that video Austin??!
Noah Hassenzahl Michigan unfortunately didn’t end up making it, it’s a bit of a pain to replace tbh. Replaced it but then the engine went shortly after
That’s crazy you said that cause the same thing happen to me. I replaced the turbo and then less then 2 months my engine went... I miss my passat
I was just re visiting this video cause it helped me get the turbo done..! And saw ur comment haha
Do you have to jack up the engine to change the turbo on 1998 Volkswagen Passat? And is the car still good since it haven't been driven in 5 years?
no you dont..
How do you know if you have a bad turbo or cat 🤔 losing power it comes and goes 🤷♂️

@140k do you think mine is done? mine kicks off and on, mostly off, do the turbos have air filters of somesort? thanks in advance :)
Pale Horse89 No filters and yes your turbo is probably bad. They normally only last for 100k. I know it's late but hope this helps.
did this today, didn't like the bottom downpipe bolt and the rear bolt on the manifold. Other than that, a pretty easy job.

Joseph Inman
Appreciate the reply. Sounds pretty straight forward, and much simpler than removing/rebuilding a carburetor.
Broh am about to change the turbo because is getting red when it get hot and my car lost power u think change it the turbo is going to fix .the problem
Sounds like a cooling problem ur engine is going to blow up
What size it the bolts on the turbo on part 3:47
17mm
heres a question i hope someone can answer. im going to look at an 03 A4 and the guy is halfway thru this process. can the car be started with the turbo off to see if the motor runs? i think it will. it will just be mad. but i dont know about the fancy german stuff haha
not it the top oil lin on the turbo is off it will spray oil everywhere , empty the oil pan in seconds
we were going to take a hose with us and put the feed and return lines together. and do something with the coolant line...
not a way to do that they have fittings on them
I cringed when he said he had to remove the compressor. Wish he knew about front end service mode. Hopefully the Freon wasn't too costly and he didn't vent to the atmosphere!
YOU SEEM TO BE THE TURBO GUY ON UTUBE. I HAVE A 2001 A4 QUATTO. I HAVE OIL LEAKING OUT FROM THE FRONT OF TURBO. THANKS TO YOUR VEDIO I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE TURBO.

+Clyde Bush your Turbo seal is bad ..
I'm about the remove the turbo from my '01 Passat for extreme lack of power and engine pinging. It happened all of a suddent two days ago. No engine light or codes. What were the symptoms on this car?
Pinging? put a vacum gauge on it to confirm a boot issue first , the car in this vid had a broken waste gate so it had no boost
When you say boot issue you mean a potential vacuum line or pressure line issue? Where is the best place for reading this on this particular vehicle?
hook a vacum gauge to a vacum line drive it and see what kind of boos it makes.on a hard acceleration it should make 13-18lbs of boost if not check for a leak before pulling turbo off .
i done have any more 1.8 cars around to show you what i mean if dig around on the YT you find one
Ok great. I will give that a try and see what I come up with.
How do you know when the turbo go out and will it still run
***** it will smoke lot of smoke from exhaust cause when turbo fan is broken it will drain to catalytic converter and will burn oil if not thats fine
My car has been dumping a white smoke from the exhaust if I let the car idle for about 10-15 minutes and when I go to accelerate the car almost pauses before accelerating and then it doesn’t have the power it used to… I have a 2002 VW Passat 1.8t awm engine..

Yep I had the same problem with my passat. I took it to the dealership and they said that a drunk DJ might be trapped under the hood.
My dad had the same problem and at least it wasnt the turbo or the catalys! It was the petrol pump! You should bring the car to the VW garage
When I start up my 2001 Volkswagen Passat I hear a whistle or almost a winding up sound. Is this normal? Also the whistle happens when accelerating.
turbo winding up?
Maybe winding isn't the word. It's a whistle. Every time you start it. I'm a first time car owner so bare with me lol
Secondary air pump maby?
I had this happen to me, and it was something like a "secondary mass air flow", what DW said..
Here are the 3 gaskets and numbers I needed for my 99 Audi A4. Found these parts at fcpeuro.com.
Audi Volkswagen Turbocharger Gasket - CRP 06A253039E

Daymnn that waste gate... jingle bells.. jingle bells.. damn waste gate bells
Hi.. please help.. audi a6 with motor aeb year 01 turbo and manifold is turning into re very fast? What is the problem? Anyone can help plz
Into red
i got dizzy wtching it
😂 how much for the custom wrench?
I got a set of s shaped wrenches from harbor freight. Worked great
I had to melt mine and bend it till it fits.. I’ll sell you my wrench
@@willwhitley9975 what did you use to remove the bolt closest to the block that holds the turbo to the manifold i cant remove it with just a wrench
How much would it cost to get a turbo changed
Depends where you go it could be 500 -1000 usd
Darn
a1997 is the same correct????
yes
Thats a nightmare!
I have poroblem with my turbo when I drive mu passat 1.8t 3-4 km my turbo be a red and hot and catalyst is red tell me what is a problem if you know please
Tomorrow I'll take a picture and I'll send you pictures.
sounds like the cat is plugged..unhook it at the back of the turbo and see if the temp droops ..a point and shoot heat gun works well for this..
Don't like the new format so debating on closing it down..
I'll remake this video using all the comments
such a clusterfuck in that engine bay
Agreed.
bro can u email me i need to ask you something
umm a guy u forgot to prime the turbo with oil
Yup he did forget
you forgot to prime the turbo
replace a turbo?? I don't see anything a guy with a car
Well we all know he was just throwing parts at this thing, new waste gate solenoid and turbo is good to go again. Keep this man away from your car!!!
