Removing turbo

[Jordan95]

Anyone got a guide or the knowledge to tell me step by step of moving a ko3 turbo from a3 2.0 tfsi 2006 Quattro?

It's pretty straight forward with just hand tools and following a procedure when fitting new one to prime up before running the engine.

Just make sure you block up pipes and hoses with rag to avoid getting grit, dirt, nuts & bolts being ingested when removing and refitting.

Good luck!

Cheers trevor, any chance you could tell me step by step?

No need really....just a case of undoing nuts and bolts until it comes off and then the reverse to refit.

Only take care with the ingress of dirt and make sure you prime it first

Two ways. First is to remove the exhaust and then take the turbo out between the subframe and the body. Or you can take it off from above. Here's the workshop manual to remove it:

It's step by step and hope it helps 🙂
