Changing turbo on Golf 1.8t aum
« on: 14 November 2015, 09:37 »
Hello,

I'm just wondering weather anyone has done this job can tell me the difficulty of it I'm looking at making a start today but I'm a bit nerves on the time I have to do it, I need the car Monday so I just wanna know what the jobs like, I also have a new exhaust manifold to go on

Cheers

Personally for a first time I would budget two days for it. I could probably do it now in about 8 hours but I know all the pitfalls lol

a spare pair of hands definitely helps when lining the turbo to the manifold, hardest part for me was getting the turbo out once it was off
