Quick get a video up so we can hear the exhaust note. I'm thinking of getting one myself if I cannot get one made locally.

Thanks.

Put a cheeky £40 best offer on this, expecting to get rejected, but won it, glad,but gutted,as also put a offer in for a complete mk4 steering wheel and air bag and won that too, bugger
Hope it fits!!, need to pull the surrounds down and check these module numbers,
Any one know what the buttons do can't make it out from the piccy,

nice wheel, if you dont want it i would take it off your hands for the daughters polo

Thanks
Any one know if the preface lift caddy (mk5???) air bag will fit? Can't find any pics of the different styles to see if I need a new air bag or my caddy one will fit
Thanks
Dan

I need to do the exact same, how hard was it to remove the turbo and did you have any prob realigning actuator rod when putting everything back?

Mine keeps on going into limp mode when i go onto the motorways, soo annoying.

Hi I cheated as the engine is out of caddy, but you needs some multi spline sockets, a 12mm socket for exhaust manifold nuts... When turbo was on bench I only removed the one nut on actuator rod so it was easy to re fit, you need to remove the actuator stop screw as it blocks one of the 10mm headed bolts, this you need to take note of how far it passes through the body.. Then remove it, this needs an Allen key and a 10mm spanner, once you have removed all the bolts I found I needed to soak the joint with releasing fluid for a good hour, I then kept tapping the body with a nylon hammer until it came apart, I used a air engraver to mark both faces to make reassembly easier, when it's apart you can see a small roll pin which is a locator but it's easier to mark outside with a center punch or something, if you turn the vanes ring it will lift out and there is a ring underneath with little locator spacers,I removed all this and de coded it, the actual vanes don't come out and are pressed in, they can be removed but I think when being remanufactured... I then just re assembled, there is only one way to put it back just take plenty of photos

Fitted led lighting in back of van, makes my life so much easier on these dark mornings and evenings!

Fitted my Eonon head unit I got for Christmas

Whilst you've got it out you might as well replace all the bearings and thrust components. I'm sure you'll be able to find a service kit on eBay
Check for any shaft motion as this is an indication of bearing failure which will cause the over boost issue (limp mode)
If the bearings do fail you will need a new turbo so for the sake of 20 mins (possibly longer if your not use to working on turbos) and I'm guessing around £30 it's worth it. You should also be able to get all the torque values online or in the service kit.
