Changing a Turbo

[teamster1975]

the first one is always hard, there fairly straightforward though

It's a shame haynes never covered the tubby, I'm relying on my dodgy dvd bought of ebay. So many jobs to do to my poor car

Cheers for your help though. I had to imagine the worst due to tike constraints.

Oh ok!
I'm heading into areas I don't know very well, thanks James!
It sounds as though you need double jointed elbows & wrists from what you're saying, I'm up for a challenge though

On the 2.0 turbo as i've got you just need to pop the driveshaft out then its not that hard to get to - with the right tools though!

Pop The Driveshaft out.....

Why would you do that ? Why man, why ! ! !

[steve_earwig]

Because one goes all the way across the back of the engine and there's more clearance once it's gone?

[teamster1975]

I'm gonna have to take a look at this later out of curiosity. Driveshaft out ?!

The Haynes manual doesn't even tell you to do that.... and the Peugeot one definately doesn't.... that's just another job after swapping the turbo... replacing final drive seals and gearbox oil !

'twas a guess, hence the question mark.
