Hi everyone!

Yesterday I noticed a weird metal scratching sound and a bit of knocking from the right-hand turbocharger. I think it's time to change it. 🙂

I checked the bottom intercooler pipe, and there's no oil — just a bit of mist, which is fine in my opinion. So I guess it's just the impeller scratching and making that noise...

I'm planning to do it myself in my garage, but I’ve never done it before. Looks like I won’t have a chance to work on it during weekdays, since I get back home late. But I’m trying to gather as much information and advice as possible before the weekend.

If anyone wants to share their experience, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, everyone!

I tried to find some info on the internet, but it seems like people don’t really give feedback after finishing their projects. So if there’s any topic or post with a step-by-step guide, please point me in the right direction!

Have a good day!

I did my turbo’s in the garage, it wasn’t the easiest job I read a few different ways of doing it, but in the end I found it easiest to remove the front end as that gave you the best access. My one had one leaking turbo and one that snapped the impeller and was ‘pouring’ oil into the intercooler!
I didn’t remove the front differential, which is what I think the Land Rover manual tells you to do.
The only ‘specialist’ tool I used was a cut down deep socket. I found getting a socket on the turbo to manifold nuts where really difficult to a socket on, but with a cut down deep socket and a couple of swivels they came off, well the whole stud came out anyway

I ended up going way over the top and doing the oil cooler, thermostat, water pump, injectors, rocker cover gaskets and a load of other bits, so it took quite a while, but if your just doing the turbo’s I think you could do it over a couple of weekends without to much trouble
