Thank you. This video really made me decide to leave my T5 to a professional mechanic instead of performing the replacement myself. Chills all over. 🙈

Im gonna do this Job this week. Hope I'll complete like you. Great video. Really helpful

Excellent video mate. Thanks for the effort in making it, very helpful.

Excellent video with loads of description, thank you

Thank you for posting this on you tube👍🏻 I removed my T5 turbo at the weekend & cleaned the inside where it was rusty. No more limp mode 😎😎😎

Great job and well done. Just watching your video and remembering the horrors of fitting a new turbo on my Galaxy.I knew it was on its last legs due to oil residue and general fumes before it failed completely. Now have an elderly T5 in same condition -oil clogging up EGR so must be brave and take on challenge again . Mine is a BPC engine which always does 30mpg no more no less and after watching your engine change video, I may now change the vehicle!

Sounds familiar no VW seems to work 100% at any time- was like that in the old days really only we didnt know until sensors came into being, Good luck and please post another episode soon. Youre a good presenter.

Having a new turbo being fitted tomorrow at my local garage, was interesting to watch how it's done but I could never do it myself!

Wise choice, I think I'd pay the garage next time!

i had not one but 3 studs snap off in my cylinder head ,, major PITA .. managed to make aluminium blocks bolted to other manifold studs to line up a drill in the centre of the broken manifold stud and then a quality "easy out" did the rest .. I would also say never try and use the old turbo gasket ,the`yre only a couple of quid from TPS and they will empty your sump of oil very quickly . Good vid

Thanks a lot for help Dan!

Brilliant help to me when I changed my turbo recently, definitely needed a 2nd pair of hands to get it back together again..Lol

You will absolutely need the VAS 3410 triple spline socket ( or copy ) to do this job. There is one triple square bolt that even my name brand "long" triple spline set would not reach, you need this specific length one to complete the job in my opinion. The gaskets are crap, even a new one is likely to leak, just done mine and at 300kms it's leaking, crush gaskets are very easy to ruin on install, I think I'll make a custom one to fix this leak. Also don't even try and do this without removing the rear engine mount, far easier if you do so!

Ended up having to take it ALL out except the bit over the steering rack I had enough room!

holly Molly you removed Even the engine rubber mount.... I remember last time I got into trouble with working space I just uncrewd the whole engine structure and it gave me the extra inches I needed. I wonder if that would work for doing the turbo

@DanSohan

You could remove the engine sub frame, bit that would he 3 or 4 times the work of removing the rear mount.. The rear mount has to come out as it's the only way i could see of bring the turbo out.

Had the same problem on a 2.5 t5 after fitting a recon turbo leaking oil at that gasket removed turbo again changed gasket again with genuine one , turbo back on and was still leaking what a bummer, so removed again had a good look at turbo and gasket , we then copped that the gasket wasn't just sitting perfect over the turbo oil feed hole ,as a closer look and unfortunately we didn't have the old turbo to compare we reconded it was a fault with manafacture of the cast of the turbo so returned turbo and got a replacement unit rechecked gasket fitment on new turbo and looked a lot better. Refitted and All ok no leak . So u just never no.

Hi. I have a T5 2.5. had a small oil leak at the gasket block but the turbo was fine. 80k. Removed turbo to put £7 gasket on and fitted a recon turbo. Ran like a bag of shite! Having to put the old turbo back on because I kept it. I don't trust recon turbos! What a nightmare that this gasket fails!

okay, I'm just about to start down this track, considering that the van I'm working on looks like it's been like this for a while :) .. hopefully I'm able to get it all done, which is going to be by the looks of it .. a rather adventurous event .. I've just managed to get to the glow plugs which I couldn't get to work at all out of the car :D so they'll need replacing too .. just hope that nothing else has gone astray with it, as I'm going to be compression testing it just to find out how far in I have to go .. but I have to agree with the comment in the middle about having a light under the bonnet .. it takes forever to do anything on these vans .. after working on one, I'd not want to own one.

Now i know WHY the Transporter I bought was so cheap.......it needs a new turbo, ive done this on cars but this looks a right bugger! I reckon a garage will do the ‘big intake of breath’ thing and quote me more than the van is worth to change the blower!😡Ive had to bite the bullet and take the turbo off as Ive discovered my VNT is glued SOLID! I SOAKED my manifold bolts for a week in PLUS GAS and they all flew out EXCEPT the one right above the turbo you cant get ANYTHING on it to crack it. I want to get my turbo out of the top WITHOUT all that malarky ripping half the underside apart.

Hi dan.my turbo has lost power an we had cambelt an oil seals done by Vw expert 60£ hour so can’t afford pay hi, this time but seen recon turbo eBay 150£ they supply fuel pumps etc too have pay60£ surcharge .til send old turbo back .but our local mechanic doing job .he said engine could self destruct if keep using engine S it’s burning oil seen out exhaust .noticed oil level dropped below minimum after engine seemed noisier .topped up but turbo must been starved or maybe on way out anyway.engine done 270k.vw man said engine was good so cross fingers turbo recon fixes it.ours has no cat on exhaust and twin exhaust exits on side van.last owner gave me old exhaust .so did your new turbo do the job?

what was reason your turbo failed?old age.was the oil feed pipe to turbo ok.my oil was low when checked under the minimum so perhaps turbo was damaged due to low oil.i topped up but maybe too late.didnt realise was using that much oil after having oil seals fixed when the cambelt was done.

Hi Dan.... I'm Dan also .... And I also have a t5 with a destroyed turbo... I was driving along, all of a sudden the car revved insanely high, thick smoke pummeled out the back, and the car made some hideous noises and stopped, the engine now has no oil in it, and the turbo and pipes are full of oil. I'm hoping it's just the turbo, and I'm gonna attempt this repair, have you got any tips?

Did the engine throw oil out of the exhaust pipe? Will it turn over freely by hand? Good luck is all I can say. Long time since I worked on a VW engine and I'm happy not to now.. If the engine didn't lock up on oil, and the turbo didn't lose any blades, hopefully you are ok.. know the feeling

You would either need a brand new gasket, or chuck some high temperature rated sealer in there, only on the output side, as sealer can damage the turbo blades if sucked past

I have had a new turbo 3 years and 20 thou miles and it started leaking year and a bit ago garage said I need new turbo I don’t believe them as it works fine just leaks oil. I recon it’s this gasket problem and they are too embarrassed to admit they used inferior parts any thoughts anyone cos turbo don’t leak unless u got blow by blocked drain or it’s old and worn

@DanSohan

3 жыл бұрын

My experience is they all push a small amount of oil when worn in. However there's lots of other places oil can come from that will accumulate in the boost pipes, turbo or intercooler. How do you know its 100% turbo. Are you noticeably losing oil?

All depends on where the oil leak is. If its losing oil outside the engine (not blowing smoke) and its coming from the back of the engine, it is likely the block to turbo gasket. The turbo job on this van is difficult compared to many, so the garage will be resistant to removing it again. IT will be like hundreds of dollars labour to get to a $20 gasket :( - good luck with it

I may have found leak need to test drive I have run and reved engine no leak at this time. I recon it was the sump directly above drive shaft wind blows it onto shaft spinning up to turbo area then looks like it’s dripping from waste gate crossing fingers just tweak Ed the bolts no weeping oil now god I hope that was it. There was a lot of oil on the boost pipe elbow going into inter cooler will replace as I suspect alloys worn vans done 205 thau miles. Will report back tomorrow after school run Thanks all 👍👍👍

had the sump off ours as it was leaking, hopefully snubbing the bolts up will help. I always have some oil seeping out the boost pipes, even after engine replacement, but not enough to notice the oil dropping. keep an eye on them. I did try replacing o-rings on the boost pipes but think the metal lugs wear out from normal engine vibrations.
