I've got an eBay turbo to go in my Focus C max diesel, hoping will have good luck with it. Is yours still going ok?
Once doing a turbo change, it's easy and a waste not to clean the sump which almost always is the source of turbo-failure on these cars. Also when doing a turbo change the Intercooler needs to come out to be cleaned, since it is on the air side it won't work again unless it's cleaned.
Great video! Watched it several times to understand each step before installing my new Chinese turbo. Little bit of a struggle removing and replacing the "original 18 year old turbo" and some of the stubborn banjo bolts and tricky feeder lines. But with some new parts and additional time I've gotten everything placed back together. My only problem now, is it's leaking oil and the oil pressure light came back on within 2-3 minutes after starting it. My plan is to get back under it to check/tighten all the bolts again. Perhaps I left one loose or there is a missing washer somewhere. Is it necessary to have copper washers (top and bottom) on all the banjo bolt fittings?
I know this video is old but Im currently stuck. I have a 2002 saab 95 2.3L and it blew it's turbo so it was smoking like mad but it did start, so I bought a new one and got to replacing it. It's all back on except the cat, but it won't start. It cranks but will not turn over. I tried starter fluid but it wouldn't work either so I'm thinking it might be a fuel problem. I replaced the spark plugs as well. Any advice anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Edit: I also did prime the new turbo
Well done old man, Iain w in glasgow
thanks a lot
Great video my friend thanks! Did you find out the reason for the low level oil? You mentioned it was burning up oil!
You should have dropped the sump and replaced the oil as well , theres a reason that turbo blew and its usually the wrong oil or not letting the engine warm for enough time.
How many ks now with the new turbo
Great video!
Thanks a million for sharing – was looking at a turbo from the same supplier… is yours still running good?
Oh and did you get stung with a customs charge?
Death to banjo connections! I usually love my Saab but not tonight
I just changed the turbo on my Saab 9-3 2002 and there is still smoke, Any advice ASAP thanks.
Nice video.Did the car perform a lot better once the job was done?
