Turbo removal s60 d5 facelift

[haynesbookoflies]

Back in a D5 S60 again sooooo happy about it. Well I was till I developed an issue.

In neutral car will rev cleanly through the range.

Had a engine system service required few days back ( not scanned with vida yet as my laptop is with a friend due back shortly)

But lacks power and today cut out on me.

swirl flaps are disconnected but thought these were redundant below 1500rpm so going with coked up turbo.

Questions are 1, do these additive cleaners actually do anything to clean this out.

Questions 2, Have found a video removing on the euro 3 engine which didn't look too bad but on the euro 4 engine is the turbo removal doable on a driveway or do you need a ramp.

I'm pretty competent with the spanners but is this doable without dropping anything major off?

Looking forward to solving this as its a much nicer car than the v60 vea engined car I just got rid of!

Could be any number of things but having codes read is the key. If you are intent on removing the turbo which you may not have to,try disconnecting the turbo actuator from.the turbo and see if the turbo vanes move freely. It could be the actuator that is faulty. These cars cant be second guessed really so codes would be a good place to start. I expect someone else will be along soon

Like previous answer. Disconnect actuator from turbo and check if the vanes move freely… sticky vanes cause the actuator to get worn quickly…

Thanks guys, yeh i'm probably jumping the gun. Just feels very much like the issue I had in my last s60 a number of years ago.

I will have a crack with the actuator disconnected and hopefully I will have vida back next week and i'll scan it :-)
