1.4 TDI - 2007 MK1 - BNV Engine - Mr Muscle - Anyone done it ?

 

I have checked out the Link http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/243533-the-mr-muscle-vnt-turbo-treatment-thought-we-needed-a-guide-of-sorts/ on here but it's not quite as simple for this engine as shown in the Link.

 

So if anyone has previously done it, can you please explain how you did it.

 

Thanks in anticipation.

My dad has done this with success on a 1.9TDi PD in an A4. Bit more of a faff on a transverse engine but deffo worth a try if you think your vanes are sticking

 

I think he just disconnected the exhaust flexi from the turbo and sprayed it in

SuperbTWM - I have watched a video of the method you have mentioned and I think that's the way I am going to do it, I cannot see any easier way in from the top..

 

Thanks.

Pretty sure thenough 1.4 uses a wastgate turbo so totally different and no vnt to unclog

Very interesting, can anyone else confirm ?

I have no idea. I did a search and found conflicting information.

 

What problems are you having and we might be able to point you in the right direction.

It's not really a big problem, I just feel that it's lacking a bit of power and wondered whether to give the Mr Muscle a go, always assuming the engine had VNT.

 

Everything else is in order, all serviced correctly to the book - Air Cleaner is new, Injection Lash, Torsion Value and Cam Belt are all set 100% spot on - I found a very slight air leak at the large O ring on the EGR valve connection, now tightened up, but just looking to regain it's normal performance.

No VNT on the 1.4TDI, I think the 90PS Audi A2 fitted with the same engine has a VNT turbo.

Have your tried something like Redex and taking it for a spirited drive? This works quite well for me when it starts to feel a bit sluggish.
