Having owned and still have an axd 130 t5 for five years I can't see a can of anything working on it. I took my turbo off once and cleaned the vanes manually, replaced and it was awful. So next time I replaced the turbo as it was such a mare to get at that I never wanted to have to go near it again. I do like the old (05) van however if anyone asks me about owning one and boy do people get silly over these things, kinda like Land Rover Defenders my advice would be to try and find a nice T4 built better in every way and if you have the turbo 5 cylinder can go like stink. Lovely vehicle but not worth the trouble imo 😆

I can't believe you just squirted turbo cleaner into the Maf sensor

The only treatment I have used on vag TDi with sticky vanes with success was the product from Forte. I always put a dose of redex in with a tank of fuel once a month. The gearbox holds the majority of its oil in the torque converter, if you google gearbox flush for Volvos you will see a method of pumping and filling a couple of litres at a time, the same can be done with that box via the hoses that run to the gearbox cooler. Your divers door sounds like it needs greasing - pop the plastic cap off the barrel that runs against the toothed quadrant, pack in grease and leave grease proud so when putting the cap back on it will force the grease down. If it is very dry, use a slurry of wd40 and grease initially, then go back with grease a bit later once it has started to move.

Had the same problem with my touran and used Mr Muscle left in for 30 mins works perfect...

If your keeping the T5 you might need a T4 with a Car Trailer.🤣

ZX1 Extralube in your fuel. It's a micro lubricant which pushes its way through to metal parts. It'll also go in your oils and coolant. Speak to the company if you're interested. They're very helpful. I've had great results with it. Good channel!! 👍

Well i got t5 now same problem as yours let's get the party started lol

I *love* this, all the 'woo' magic liquids and BS cures, they're amazing and cost more than doing the job properly because you'll need to anyway. FWIW, worked in an engine lubricant research lab for a *MAJOR* manufacturer of household name engine lubricants.

Good stuff that EGR cleaner. Cheap easy fix. I'm not keen on that engine - really noisy even for a diesel. As for the AT, I bet nobody has ever done any fluid replacement and its too late now.

Use one shot diesel additive had the same problem with a Passat and Skoda superb they both ran brilliantly after two tankfulls

Dont forget to change the gearbox oil and filter ,it could be this that is causing the stalling.

cant wait to see the mk2 with the 3.2

Just replace the MAP sensor. I did it myself today and the car revived.

Gearbox filter and fluid change!

Hi Ya with that mileage and suspect no maintenance I’d put Wynns DPF Cleaner about £10 simply pour into fuel tank with about 40 litres in it And drive ,,,Cleared my EGR Valve and DPF I used both cleaners 1st EGR then the DPF If you have one Sorted I Got a really improved acceleration Smoother Throttle response and More MPG Total cost £20ish Good Luck hope it works or you as it did Mine

Have you checked the vac lines and also see if the actuator arm is traveling ok?

Hi m T5 2009 has done 543,00 and normal G/box problem is valve block, high mileage, cam shaft wear and cracked manifold. C J By the way, my brothers has done 480,000.

Just bought a van with my son, also have mechanical repairs. But drove back 220 miles and ran faultlessly.

The oven cleaner in the dirty side of the turbo and a new n75 was the thing that fixed my vw vnt turbo.the wynns goes in on clean side of turbo doesnt it? so wont clean the vanes

had a VW T5 for 13 years wish you good luck with your T5 !!

On the same process, I’ve tried using Revive turbo cleaner, a double dose. Drives much better afterwards, power and acceleration in gears up to three, but still get overboost into limp mode in fourth and fifth uphill. Might try the Wynns EGR cleaner spray for the miracle. If it doesn’t get better, next on list is check all the vacuum in all hoses and if there’s no leaks check the intercooler. After that it’ll be removing the EGR for a proper wire brush clean.

I had that. I had to drive in 3rd gear at 50-60 at least 10 miles. It worked for me

Did you fix your ailing garage door?

change the gearbox oil, needs to be clean oil for it to work properly the box needs changing about every 60k oil for those is 120. so as you say maintenance required quite possibly people dont change gearbox oil for some reason. needs changing like engine oil.

Boost valve? Moo valve will cause limp mode on boost

C J. Should read 543,000 miles. Stick with it.

What the name of the wheels on the TT won’t a set for my a6 estate

Usually vanes on turbo stick. Mr muscle & move actuator

How many cars does one man need?

Parrafin and 2 stroke oil is what you use .NOTHING else. 1 litre of paraffin per tank and about a wine glass of 2 stroke oil. Then do an "italian tune up" and the engine will be pukka

Why have VW's got the reputation they have? I've got this exact problem and so have hundreds of others from the looks of it yat no one, and I mean no one seems able to give the answer to it! I even asked a garage mechanic and he said he gets more VW Transporters in for repairs than any other van and no way would he buy one, not reliable enough.

Surprise, surprise, someone with multiple VW/Audis doesnt have anything to drive.................When T5s start to get electrical problems, its the beginning of the end. Looking at a very large amount of expense before long......................

Nothings as reliable as a VW......😁

as soon as you went to halfords it was goodbye from me

A garage full of garbage lol

Don’t do anything else to it and I’ll give you £3k for it 👍🏻

I'd question my life choices as well if I had that barn full of dead junk LOL I've been a mechanic for 45years and still piss myself at YT mechanics , it will be over boosting because the fkn inlet tract is full of engine oil from the fkd turbo ...thank me later.
