Re: Replacing my Turbo.

I'm not a fan of the rebuilding option. I live in the mountains and am pretty hard on the turbo and having read previous posts about how important the balance is I'm not really convinced that just replacing seals and a bearing is a good idea. Thanks for that suggestion though! Plus the turbo that ca...

Replacing my Turbo.

Hi folks, So my Turbo died. The wastegate clip broke off and it's been puking oil internally (white smoke after a descent) as well as externally. So I pulled the offending turbo and ordered a new one off aliexpress.com which is a chinese wholesaler website. Huge mistake! The turbo arrived with a bro...

But now I notice a noise and a vibration that I am having a hard time placing. It's a constant whum whum whum noise that increases with speed, ...

Re: Leaky Turbo - how serious?

Where did you get the rebuild kit from? I have a leaky turbo and am not afraid of getting a little dirty.

Which airline to t boost Guage into?

Hi guys, I finally purchased my boost Guage and am looking to install it tomorrow. What airline have you guys tapped into? Can you use the one from the top of the EGR? Is it boost controlled like a tdi or is there one off the top of the manifold. Interested to see what pressure I'm getting out of my...

Inner Tie Rod end replacement

Hi Guys, I just got my van back from my Alberta inspection. The main issue is that my Inner left tie rod is rusted and the boot is cracked. Are these something my local mechanic can remove and replace? Also any suggestions on who to buy these parts off online? I was looking at Coombs auto and they h...

Re: Whining noise and shake

Thanks for that! Not a bad price for them either. I might pick up a set. Have you used them much for any off road or snow driving? They seem to be strong?

Re: Hose to top of EGR cut and plugged

Thanks Guys! For twenty dollars shipped I certainly will be ordering my blanking plates tonight. Has anyone put their EGT probe in them as suggested? I still have black smoke issues so I think the valve may have been stuck open and am happy to remove any extra useless materiel from the engine anyway...

Whining noise and shake

Hi guys, So I have been driving my Van quite a bit too and from work and have been noticing a whine that starts as soon as the van is moving and increases in volume and speed as I speed up, very consistant. Plus I am getting a shake, rattle that increases with speed coming from Left side. I have bee...

Re: Hose to top of EGR cut and plugged

Thanks! I figured it had something to do with disabling the EGR but I had assumed they would have just pulled and blanked it. I am ordering a blank asap and also going to do what you suggested and put my EGT probe in it. Also planning on putting a boost gauge in so this will all work perfectly. Than...
