The turbo on the diesel engine found in some Volkswagens uses a turbocharger to create extra torque and power. This turbo has bearings and other moving parts internally, all of which require maintenance and service. If one of these parts in the turbo fails, then the turbo needs to be removed from the engine so that it can be repaired or replaced with a new one. This should take around an hour to do.
Put the drain pan underneath the engine of the Volkswagen. Unbolt the clamps on the air ducts leading to and away from the turbo with the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Pull the ducts off of the turbo and the engine, then place them to the side.
Unbolt the oil supply line from the turbo with the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Unbolt the exhaust from the turbo with the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Lift the front of the Volkswagen with the jack and put it on jack stands.
Crawl underneath the Volkswagen and locate the turbo. Unbolt the turbo from the exhaust manifold with the 3/8-inch ratchet, extension and sockets. Lower it down from the engine and then take it out from underneath the car.
