Removing
Remove oil dipstick -1- from guide tube.
Unclip caps.
Unscrew nuts -arrows- and remove engine cover.
Reinsert oil dipstick in guide tube.
Remove air duct hose-1- from air duct pipe.
Detach connector of air mass meter -3-.
Unscrew bolts -4- and -5-.
Remove vent hose -2- from rear of air cleaner housing.
Take out air cleaner housing.
Remove air duct pipe from air filter to turbocharger.
Unscrew oil feed line from exhaust turbocharger and exhaust manifold -arrows-.
Unscrew oil feed line from oil filter bracket -arrow- and also on cylinder head and lay line aside.
Remove bolt -1- from above.
Remove lower air duct pipe -arrows-.
Remove noise insulation in centre and on right -arrows-.
Unbolt heat shield for right drive shaft -arrows-.
Unbolt bracket for exhaust system from assembly mounting -arrows-.
Note:
The isolating element in front exhaust pipe must not be deflected more than 10°to avoid damage.
Unscrew securing bolts -arrows- of front exhaust pipe/exhaust turbocharger.
Detach the exhaust system at the clamping sleeve -arrows-.
Remove the front exhaust pipe.
Disconnect hose to boost pressure control solenoid valve -N75 at turbocharger or unscrew banjo bolt, respectively.
Disconnect hose at boost pressure valve pressure unit.
Remove air duct hoses at turbocharger.
Detach the oil return line at cylinder block -arrow-.
Screw out nut -2- from below.
Remove the turbocharger.
Installing
Installation is carried out in the reverse order; note the following:
Notes:
Always replace seals, gaskets and self-locking nuts.
Note installation position of exhaust manifold/exhaust turbocharger gaskets.
Fill the turbocharger with engine oil via the oil feed connection.
Secure all hose connections with the correct hose clamps (same as original equipment):
=> Parts List
Hose connections and hoses for charge air system must be free of oil and grease before assembly.
Slide the hose onto the boost pressure valve pressure unit and secure it using a hose clamp.
Position turbocharger on exhaust manifold and hand-tighten securing nut -2- after coating it with high-temperature lubricant.
High-temperature lubricant
=> Parts List
Coat threads and bolt head contact surface of securing bolts -1- with high temperature lubricant.
Tighten the securing bolts -1- to 30 Nm and the fastening nut -2- to 25 Nm.
Install exhaust system and align it stress-free => Page

.
Check oil level => Page
17-21
.
Note:
After installing the turbocharger, run engine for approx. 1 minute at idling speed; do not rev up immediately. This ensures the turbocharger is properly lubricated.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
