Yes, I thought that the other studs would pull the manifold in enough to not matter. I need to get the car back in the garage and have a look as I cant remember, I hope they are sticking out. doubt there will be enough for 2 nuts to fit on them. :sadlike:

Gents, Whilst doing a turbo change on my 1.8t quattro. I snapped 2 studs holding the manifold to the engine. now the manifold is blowing and I must be losing masses of boost as the car is extremely slow. what is your suggestions to remove the snapped studs and sorting this exhaust leak? also...

The above picture seems to be the general orientation. Here is a fitted example. Notice the red pipe goes to opposite(boost) Top goes to actuator Bottom goes to tip I just need to check mine is in the correct way now with long pipe going down into tip

Tufty, are you sure? This is the picture I took when I bought the car as a non-runner See how the opposite pipe goes to the boost pipe not the actuator? Like I said above, this car was a non runner so that picture may be wrong. Can you confirm this?

I'm going to plumb and old boost gauge to find out the boost pressure. I am unsure about the N75 pipework, I did take a picture before removal, but the pipework is like a puzzle. What is the N75 anyway?

Guys, I have recently changed a failed turbo on my A3 1.8t quattro. (this was a massive ball ache with the AWD system) I now have an exhaust leak as 2 exhaust manifold bolts snapped. also have a water leak, from the turbo water inlet. Took it for a test drive regardless of the leakage, and it...

fixyourturbo - located in Barnsley - Ebay top seller no idea how good they are.:blink: thanks for the explanation, it does make sense I suppose. Although if the single has only small holes in the middle and the twin has bigger holes, I cant understand how this will be worse?

Right, I have chased up the ebay seller for a replacement of the journal bearing at my cost. this is his response - "Hello Sam, Actually you don't have any problem replacing single oil feed with twin oil feed. The problem would be replacing twin oil feed with singe. But in this case it is even...

ahhh right, luckily you said that I was gonna bang it together tonight :grimacing: so to confirm, I need the single feed bearing? can the orginal be re-used? or is this the offending piece causing shaft play?

According to my research, there is not much benefit from using a Twin Journal Bearing over a Single. Therefore I would be inclined to use the twin. They are the same size just have different holes. Will the additional holes cause the oil to flow to fast and make its way into the exhaust and...

More specific thread created regarding the above post for more interested :)

Hi Guys, I have bought a rebuild kit including a twin journal bearing. but I have taken out the existing bearing and it seems to be a single journal bearing (see photo) My question is, Can I use the Twin bearing as a replacement? Can I use the old single bearing? or will this keep the...

Guys, I have bought a rebuild kit for the turbo and have started rebuilding. have run into a little issue, see photo below looks as though I have bought the wrong kit? everything else is fitting ok but the main bearing is totally different. Can someone confirm what I should do? use new...

right, I have spoken to the seller through whats app. I sent him a video of obvious play in the shaft, you can even hear the turbine hitting the compressor housing. his answer was, "oh ye, I did check that before I sent it, it didn't seem too bad. is the packaging damaged at all?" I replied...

moving on with this issue as I do not have time to dwell on this. Will this work on my turbo? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A4-A6-VW-PASSAT-1-8T-QUATTRO-K03-2-TURBO-CHARGER-DIY-REBUILD-REPAIR-KIT-/181063060392?hash=item2a28330ba8:m:m037DzX-9rFthdF-GBJl4Ag it doesn't show the A3 on the...

I have messaged the seller and he still claims that, there is nothing wrong with the turbo. also asked me what i mean by shaft play. :hopelessness:

Thanks! enquiry sent

annoying thing is, the inlet pipe was loosely fitted with the bolt half screwed in. this tells me that the seller has taken the inlet pipe off to reveal the compressor and he could(would) have checked the shaft for play. I did ask about the shaft play in particular, he said he was unsure. he...

How much we talking? I may buy this, to save time. I have seen some new K03 for £150 on ebay, but these must be cheap Chinese sh*t. but if you are aware of a reputable seller for cheap turbos, please let me know. :)

Hi Guys, I bought a "working" K03 from the bay of e. It has a lot of shaft play, both left to right and backwards and forwards, which tells me it is not "working" I know there is a small amount of play in turbo shafts, but this is a lot more than a small amount. Question I have is, will a...
