Dis assembling the turbo on a 2001 VW jetta ALH TDI. This turbo was very sticky causing the car to overboost. This cleaning brought the turbo back to life! No more overboosting!
New turbos can be found here: rebrand.ly/xman

i alredy cleaned 3days ago, but still overboost, and block the vacuum for the boost level control, so my turbo boost gone. What do you think about this?

Why does turbo get so dirty?..its because of oil not changing enough times or because car was not driven in proper rpms? Only city drive and not high speed..thank you for the answear

What size tune did you do? I have a Malone 1.5 with 11mm pump and stock manual injectors.

can you put any anti sieze or gease onto the vanes so it doesnt stick together?or not?

@claytonmoechnig6067 4 ай бұрын

Most likely the grease in those products will trap soot and gum it right back up and with the temp it could just burn off that grease leaving behind heavy carbon deposits

Hello! Does the engine need to be removed to remove the turbo? Mine is ALH Golf.

is there a way to "fix it" by just taking it out on the highway and performing a good run on 3500-4000rpm ?

How often do you have to clean your turbo ?

@austinniemela 4 жыл бұрын

Marko fraser just when the car is babied and gets sticky, or it burns oil

The biggest factor would be where, and how it is driven. Slow city driving with a lot of idling in traffic would create more soot. You are burning more diesel/km. Faster, motorway driving would burn less fuel and create less sooty deposit in the turbo. I bought my car and found it would go into limp mode very frequently. As my work commute is a 35 km round trip mainly on the motorway it has cleared up substantially. But I will strip it down when the weather warms and clean it up.

Did you have to do anything special to run that turbo over stock?

PCV valve is the culprit ....change it from 60k to 80k ...when it fails oil dumps into the intercooler ..and slowly carbons up the EGR and Turbo ...use a good oil and CHANGE THAT DAMN PCV VALVE !
