HOW TO REPLACE THE TURBOCHARGER ON SKODA OCTAVIA 2011 1.6tdi/ R4UL TV

[@daveking2111]

Great video thanks. Since I'm working on my drive with the car up on ramps to get access underneath I really didn't fancy jacking the offside up and supporting it that high off the ground so managed without removing the driveshaft. Also got the turbo out with out unbolting and swinging the brake exhauster out of the way. Tricky getting to some of the manifold nuts particularly since I didn't take out the EGR valve assembly either, but I'm used to working blind with just my fingers to guide me from my many years as a forklift truck engineer. A bit of ingenuity to get some nuts and bolts out, fortunately nothing seized or too difficult to undo. I found it very difficult to get the DPF filter in just the right position to maneuver the manifold off all its studs. Had to play the video it at a slightly slower speed to catch everything you said and also made it slightly kinder on my delicate ears.

Thanks for watching really appreciate it. I give it to you for one, doing it on the floor and second doing without taking EGR valve off etc👍

hi, thanks for taking time to explain your work but don't you have to do a control boost setting to the vacuum unit for the turbocharger by using the VAG com tool when changing the turbo?

[@TEAMR4ULTV]

I didn't do anything like that. Never did in all my time as a mechanic

[@danielrusu2090]

@@TEAMR4ULTV here is the procedure with vag com
Select diagnostic function:
- Click the „006 - Basic setting“ button on the display.
- Use the numeric keypad to enter the block of measured values „120“ and acknowledge entry with the „Q“ key.
- Click the „Activate“ button in the lower half of the screen.
- Observe the value in the lower screen window; it must fluctuate between 0.65 ... 0.85 and 3.30 ... 3.90 V (vacuum unit is move to both end stops alternately).
If voltage values OK:
- End basic setting procedure.

hey , thanks for video , my friend have whisling turbo on skoda superb 1.6 tdi , only 50000 miles on clock , it starts wishling one day wery laud and limp mode came on , when i ask mechanick , he said there is some seal faulty and to fix it he have to buy new turbo , i wonder why they just dont change the seal insted changing all think which with labour gona cost 1700 euro which they going to exchange that he actualy never see what wos wrong with it, if he ask for faulty turbo back it will be extra 400 euro for part , thanks for halp , anyways i see that is not easy to take that think out so maybe thats reason why they wont to put brand new think inside

[@TEAMR4ULTV]

You are better off with new one, putting new seals on for my money not very good.

Hello! Do i need to replace the oil feed pipe? If yes Is the oil feed pipe same thing with oil pipe charger?

[@DerGolf2000]

VW and other recommend to replace the pressure pipe due to carbon deposits inside the pipe. The can come loose when you work with the pipe and fittings.

[@therenegades7329]

Can I use this turbocharger and install it one some other cars ?

[@liteglow2000]

Wow a very detailed and good video.
But I wonder if it's alot harder to remove Turbo on a 4WD ? :(

[@TEAMR4ULTV]

Might be harder depending on the car

[@liteglow2000]

@@TEAMR4ULTV I got the same car as you. Skoda Octavia 1,6 Tdi 2011 4wd

[@techstuff786]

is it definately necessary to remove the EGR cooler? I can do it but would rather avoid removing the awkward bolts on it... thanks

[@TEAMR4ULTV]

Sorry mate I didn't explain it properly one of my early videos. To make it easy for you yes take the EGR valve and Cooler off.
In this order
1st DPF
2nd EGR
3rd Turbo
So in my opinion to take the turbo off you have to take the Egr valve off hope that helps.

[@nigelwilkin9836]

Hi roughly cost for wat you did I already av another turbo
Cheers

[@TEAMR4ULTV]

I would say labour about £150 to £200

[@illusive2288]

Can you get blow off valves for these cars fitted?

[@TEAMR4ULTV]

Maybe you can but I never fitted one to these

[@lifeisbeautiful8047]

How much cost to change it

[@TEAMR4ULTV]

About £200 labour

[@PompeyMatt17]

Either that block has been painted gloss black or it's leaking like a sieve

[@TEAMR4ULTV]

It was both the block was coloured black but also had a bad oil leak too
Thanks for watching

@@TEAMR4ULTV leaking from back of rocker cover gasket ?. Am thinking of doing this on Passat b7 1.6tdi. Very strange whizzing/air noise coming from dpf or turbo. Doing my head in, exhaust manifold gets extremely warm after 30 mile driving, and noise gets worst after the 30 miles…. no turbo lack, no limp mode no dpf light, but the whining is driving me crazy. I honestly think its coming from the dpf whining air noise. Lost ?

[@game4alaughman]

@@TEAMR4ULTV no fault codes on vcds either

[@TEAMR4ULTV]

@@game4alaughman check the turbo fan it might be that

[@TEAMR4ULTV]

Turbo fan/spindle

Kom. O ko

[@bustertypsy]

What class of an arsehole designer came up with this setup? Would be cheaper to just replace the engine with the labour involved in replacing the turbo. Ridiculous.

[@TEAMR4ULTV]

Lol. I know not thr best design
