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 👍

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!

Very well done - thank you for putting this together for those motivated enough to do it

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.

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!

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 !!!

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?

Wowwwwwwwwwww, éso es hacer mecánica. Saludos desde México

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.

Thought my timing chain was going .. but no codes .. rattled on down revs .. turns out this is it .. (b8 a5 coupe 2.0 tfsi)

Better than original set

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?

@PetesWorkshop

5 ай бұрын

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.

@mrwest77

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 ☺️

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.

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.

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.
