I recently bought a TDI90 with 140,000 on the clock - no service history. The car is down on power and fuel consumption is terrible ( around 30 in town and b roads, mid 40's on motorway at 70). I've decided to give it a full on service to include cleaning the egr and turbo - started this today and its more tricky than expected. So, some advice please if you've done it.
I'm using this guide
ATL turbo removal
But i'm finding the space behind the engine is super tight and i can't get to the nuts to undo the EGR cooler, its taking for ever and i'm worried about rounding nuts and shearing things. I'd appreciate advice on how to make more space to work in - I've taken off the air duct above engine, can i undo some mounts? Appreciate a link if possible.
cheers
