hi got a skoda octavia tdi turbo started getting really loud ,so bought a second hand one off ebay in very good working order , with 3 months waranty on parts , garage put it on charged 80 pound to fit it but the turbo is sticking under load and cuts out till you restart it , i know they prone for viens sticking ,was going to buy some turbo cleaner to spray down pipe see if that would cure it , i could send the turbo back but it means paying to take it off then put another one on any ideas as im pulling my hair out

search on here for Lofty's Mr Muscle turbo thread :yes:

Mr muscle hoo hoo hoo hoo.

Would have been a good idea to have cleaned it before fitting

Would have been a good idea to have cleaned it before fitting

but not essential due to my excellence lol

Mr Muscle fix usually solves it

going to try mr muscle but not sure if it will solve turbo fault cause now when it under load viens in turbo stick and car holds back and you can hear hear turbo scrapeing like its catching on carbon

If you suspect the turbo vanes are heavily carbonised, you really need to leave the Mr Muscle in for a good 2 hours with plenty of moving the actuator up & down. Eventually you should feel the actuator moving smoothly.
