    Un-Sticking Your TDi VNT Turbo Vanes.....

    Thanks for the info. Are you able to expand on that a bit? Wouldn't I just be able to drop the silicon pipe down the flexi pipe in the photo to feed straight into the turbo?

Obviously the engine layout is different to the Audis - anyone got any idea if I remove the EGR valve, if the small pipe to the left of this picture is the one which I need to insert the silicon tube and oven cleaner into? Really fiddly access...

    Un-Sticking Your TDi VNT Turbo Vanes.....

    Cheers evilscotsman for starting this thread. I will be doing the same job to mine tomorrow having read your instructions. Am a little concerned though..... I sprayed some WD40 on the 2 nuts today which retain the lower part of the EGR pipe, but they look absolutely screwed. To the point that I...
