Checks To ensure that there are no problems, examine the intake air duct of the engine to identify looseness or damage, verify that the air intake system is not obstructed by anything, and verify that the air filter is not dirty or that the intercooler is not damaged. Also check system vacuum hoses, wiring, and electrical connectors to be loose or corroded. See that the wastegate actuator connection is not binding, and inspect the exhaust system, lubricating oil supply and drainback lines, and coolant supply and return lines, as well as the damage or restriction. In case a replacement is required, replace the engine oil and filter. Full diagnosis involves special equipment and methods and thus in case of the initial checks failing to detect the issue, visit a dealer service department or a repair facility equipped with the necessary equipment. Removal should be done by warming up the engine and emptying the oil then letting it cool and emptying the cooling system. Unscrew the negative battery cable, loosen the right-front wheel bolts, hoist up the vehicle, and take off the right-front wheel. Take off the splash shield and engine cover undervehicle, and then take care of certain steps according to the types of engines such as removing the heat shields, coolant hose and electrical contacts and finally removing the turbocharger out of the car. The process of installation includes following all fasteners with anti-seize compound, changing seals and gaskets, fasteners, adding oil to the turbocharger, and proper alignment of the exhaust system followed by refilling engine oil and coolant. To replace charge air cooler, it should be raised and then the required parts removed and several steps followed depending on the engine type and bolts must be installed and tightened in a diagonal shape.

How to diagnose and replace a turbocharger and intercooler on Volkswagen Passat?

The turbocharger is a delicate device that may be seriously damaged by improper lubrication or introduction of foreign matter into the air intake duct, and the results are usually manifested by a malfunctioning engine, blue/grey smoke in the exhaust, or unusual sounds. In order to diagnose possible problems, check the intake air duct whether it is loose, ruined, in any case there are no obstructions in air intake system and also look at the system vacuum hoses, wiring and electrical connectors whether they are damaged or corroded. Also check that the wastegate actuator connection is not binding and check the exhaust system, lubricating oil supply line and drain back line, and coolant supply line and coolant return line has no damages or blockages. In case of replacement, empty the cooling system, lift the car up and take out the engine compartment cover. Disconnect the air conditioning compressor, without disconnecting the refrigerant hoses and remove the turbocharger support bracket and the air inlet and outlet ducts, oil return pipe and oil supply pipe. Also, detach the vacuum hose to the wastegate actuator, the air filter housing and air filter duct, and loosen the crankcase ventilation hose. Once the turbocharger has been removed, it must be installed in reverse sequence, with all the gaskets, seals and nuts turned over, and the mounting bolts of the turbocharger fitted to the correct torque. Remember to take off the fuel pump fuse before proceeding to start the engine until the pressure of oil develops. In the case of the intercooler, lift the vehicle up, undo the engine compartment undercover, undo the air deflector, and undo the upper and lower air ducts and remove the mounting bolts after which the intercooler can be removed and re installed in the same sequence.
