I'm new to this turbo malarkey , and don't want to mess it up , I'm in the hertfordshire area if anyone wants to make some money

 

You picked one of the worst pain in the **** jobs to ask for a hand on.

I'm out.

 

It's a simple job,but done properly that's the hard part.Google it or YouTube it should only take you around an hour I would help but your to far for me,good luck.SJ.

 

Try FB running in High Wycombe bit of a trek but well worth it reasonable rates and sound knowledge.

 

Only thing is I have to get it there and it's smoking a lot , is it okay to drive like this or a big nono

 

My parents live in w.g.c so I go down that way a fair bit and have done a fair few turbos on these and many others.

PM me if you want some help.

 

When it happened to me I had the AA tow mine. But I would call Rich on 07595 493581 he would be the best person to give you advise

 

Ok I need to get some tools in as mine are at work , would you be interested in that anytime soon . Will pay you just need it done , bought it last Friday . Drove it back 180 miles was fine . Then the Sunday was a whirring and then no boost , pissed off . I've got a v24 coming in a day or 2

Where is rich and fb located?

 

I would not be driving any car with a blown turbo,I would PM scooby87 who has offered you helpand get it donehere's a little video I found that will help you,as I said before it's not a hard job to do I have done many turbo changes on most turbocharged cars. .SJ.

 

Once again thanks , you guys are the nuts on here

 

All you have to do is remove the intercooler and downpipe. Putting the car on stands is the most pain in **** part of it.

 

I changed my turbo a couple of weeks ago and the hardest part I found apart from undoing the rusty nuts was lining up the oil feed pipe underneath and getting the clips back on. It really is a **** job if you don't have a ramp and are lying underneath the car on the road.

 

I found it easier to tie a string around the oil drain rubber pipe and pulling/yanking it up, whilst pushing the turbo down trying to position the oil pipe. No virgin activity :-)
