Well you did a great job, sorted out the 3 main causes of problems so she really should be sweet for the customer. But even with all that work it still fought you till u did the forced regen. Your not a man who gets beat easily. Thanks for taking the time to do the video, love ur stuff👍
Nice Peter. I think sometimes we spend more time programming. I had a vw kicking my ass one night after getting the dpf cleaned wouldn't come out of limp mode. Eventually I told it that it had a new dpf and just like magic fixed.
They can send you around in circles at times alright & yes sometimes you can spend longer pressing buttons than we do working on them 😤 Good to know about the replacing bit. Thanks D.D 🙏👍
Not the easiest of jobs that Peter but your getting good at em. Like the use of the scissor jack I have one in my tool box very handy at time’s. My boss has the snap on scanner a nice tool it is to but sometimes it fails on the DPF regeneration while my Autel as never failed as yet.
Yes Kevin, I do agree it can be good at certain stuff & then just crap at others. I haven’t ever used the Autel but do hear good things about it, it might be time to consider purchasing one 🤔👍👍
That EGR cooler should be dry and almost clean, with shiny metal visible. All of that soot and oily mess is a very bad sign! The only time I've seen one like that was a car that had the DPF gutted.
Thank you Myles, I’ll have to try that the next time one comes in. I just find that the ‘Snap on’ isn’t too good with VAG stuff & couldn’t see an option to replace Dpf on it 😬👍👍
I have similar issues, took it to 3 different garages, last guy did a smoke test n there was leak but hasnt fixed the main fault, how can i tell if its 100% the turbo and that its not the egr or dpf? Car makes a funny noise when goin up hill n then goes into limp mode!!
Just from what you are saying, lack of boost, noisy & entering limp mode up a hill. It sounds like a turbo issue. But it is impossible to say without seeing the car unfortunately. Hopefully my video will guide you some bit 🤞🤞🤞
I have tried it with a few different types of chemicals. Sometimes it works and sometimes not, depends on how badly blocked they are. It depends on how much time you have between removal and refitting, replacing can be so much faster for a garage 🤔🤔
Hey! So I have a mk7 Golf with the 2.0tdi. The turbo has blown.....the car is parked on my driveway. How difficult would you say it would be to replace my turbo on axle stands? Based on your experience with doing the job on a ramp? I just can't find any videos of turbo replacements on the mk7 platform. Any advice would be appreciated!
If you are familiar with working on cars & have done anything similar before, then I think it wouldn’t be a problem for you. Raise up the front remove the subframe & at that stage you will have plenty room to work. The very best of luck with it 🤞🤞🤞👍
@@kennedysgarage3281hello, so I am about to replace the turbo. It comes with a new actuator fitted to it. Is there any kind of adaptation or tests I need to do on VCDS after fitting the new turbo and actuator? Again can't find anything online...thanks again!
@@blidgers7880 it should be preset but it might be better to do a turbo actuator relearn with your scantool. But possibly fit it, drive it and see first 🤞🤞👍
Hi mate, unfortunately the turbo replacement did not resolve the burning oil problem on this car. The engine had to be rebuilt due to carbon buildup under the piston rings. Unfortunately I didn’t do it so this is the full extent of my information on it 😔😔 But the very best of luck with your one 🤞🤞🤞
@@kennedysgarage3281Hello I have Skoda octavia RS 2.0 TDI 2017 CR, I pulled out EGR cooler and turbo. Turbo will be rebuild in two days, there is a plenty of axial play. How do you solve problems with blocked EGR cooler? Do I have to buy a new one? Its possible to clean it somehow? The reason why I pulled out turbocharger is oil consumption, it was about 950 mL per 1000 km. We changed pistons etc., we rebuild the cylinder head, oil separator is new as well, after all of this oil consumption went a to 830 mL. The issue is DPF control light comes onafter about 400 km, after some time car fails to run regeneration a falls to limp mode. What do you think about this? Could it be a blocked EGR cooler to cause failing regenerations? Temperature sensors, diff pressures looks ok. Thank you for your time
@@vojtechpenkava949 a blocked egr cooler triggers a P2002 Dpf efficiency fault code. But yes is the cooler was blocked & triggered an engine management fault it would inhibit Dpf regenerations. I have tried clean egr coolers with differing chemicals and it sometimes does work. Replacement might be the best solution but cleaning is well worth trying. I would also recommend getting the Dpf cleaned when it’s off. All that oil burning would most likely leave a lot of ash content in it 🤔🤔🤔
Pull down the subframe for room & I could say less time but realistically you would want to allow 8hrs or a full day from start to finish. It is straight forward enough Gary, just a bit of time involved 👍👍👍
Hi, I have a Skoda Fabia 3 1.4 Tdi and my turbo is down. As I saw in my car, the turbo location is like Octavia. I asked a service a price for reconditioning and installing the turbo and they want to charge me more for the job than the part. Is it normal? How many hours did it take to dismount and mount back the turbo? Thank you!
Car repair is getting more complex day by day & that means more time and cost involved. Garages are now between €60 to €100 per. hour and it will take the best part of 8 hours to do this repair. Plus oil & filter etc. 😬😬😬
I've just done a DPF replacement on a 2014 Golf TDI, I have a problem - the exhaust did not want to mate with the dpf flange and when I finally got it fitted the flexi is very close to the steering rack heat shield. I think it actually touches it when the mounts flex as I pull away and I can feel vibration. Any ideas?
I'm a bit behind catching up with all your work this week Peter however I'm here now. Right an interesting thing to note here is you have written your name on your red watering can. So my question is....Is this because you are a keen gardener and get really angry when someone takes it without asking?
I definitely don’t have a green finger Chris, but it does drive me crackers when stuff doesn’t be put back where it should be. I have 3 lifts & 3 mechanics, so 3 watering can’s all named. 🤷🏼♂️ Getting older & grumpier by the day 😂😂
Do you have to tell a VW Passat 2011 if new turbo is put in? It’s giving me an actuator code but all is fine she won’t come out of limp mode for me. Any help be appreciated thanks 🙏
Yes, the turbo actuator set up is generally slightly differently than before. The engine ECU knows this from the turbo actuator position sensor. So you just need to do a turbo actuator position basic settings relearn. I think I have a few videos on this if needed
