Been there done it. Its actually easier for access if you drop the sub-frame and suspension off out of the way. Even better, drop the engine on the floor and swap the turbo out.

Thank you for posting 👍👍

Brilliant video Gary... Between this and the EGR video - they are gold... The 'yap yap yap' noise you play at the end is one of the faults i have along with a low fuel rail pressure which i have been chasing to no avail. Car conks out on idle and when driving. Im about to jump in with EGR and turbo replacement... i think... but nice if i could sort the fuel rail pressure first before committing to turbo

Thanks for the positive comments Andy, and I’m glad the videos are of help to you 😊

Great video! Very interesting to see the crank sensor wiring damaged by EGR heat.

Yes that’s the second piece of damaged wiring / loom that I’ve found, the other being near the starter motor on my gearbox video. Might be worth you flagging this on one of your videos Scott as you reach a wider audience.

Lol, I did this a gew months back. Exhaust manifold to turbo bolts keep coming undone leading to further turbo underboosts. Considering putting some nuts and threadlock on them

Oh that’s a worry. I did toy with the idea of putting some thread lock on but as the originals were so tight I decided against it. Hope I don’t live to regret that! Did you use new bolts?

@@user-bc3zs2wn5z sadly I don’t think you can get the bolts out without removing the EGR valve and cooler. You could probably get a spanner in under the cooler to undo them, but I don’t think there would be enough room to withdraw the bolts.

Thanks for putting this up. what milage has your car done please
