2.0L BKD 140bhp suffereing limp mode, low power, reduced MPG and dead spots on the throttle.
Been looking at this treatment for a while after trying additives to little effect but kept on delaying it through fear of the unknown. Anyway yesterday i did it!
Toughest part was access what with the turbo being at the back of the engine and also with my engine having the egr cooler positioned above the turbo this also did not help with access from above so ended up doing it mostly from below. There isnt a lot of room below either but it was quite easily doable even with my popeye arms.
Dont forget to soak in wd40 for at least 20mins beforehand.
Undone the pipe that goes from the egr cooler to the turbo manifold, leaving one of the allen key bolts in loosely where the pipe connects to the cooler, this gives you plenty of movement in the pipe to get access. The aquarium tubing was then easily fed through to the turbo by poking it to the right (drivers side).
Sprayed in the mr muscle,left in for an hour and a half playing with the ever loosening actuator as much as i could, pipes back on, start up and idle till warm the went for a blast....
Now i cant get it into limp mode, feels smoother, a bit quicker and the fuel economy has gone up. I can now enjoy driving my car again
OH AND BY THE WAY MY LOCAL VW/AUDI SPECIALIST RUN A DIAGNOSTICS LAST WEEK AND TOLD MY TURBO WAS KNACKERED AND I SHOULD GET A RECON AT £800!!
