changing a td5 turbo

(1/1)

4x4spud:
if i want to change a turbo on a defender td5 whats involved

do i have to touch the ecu at all

Hightower:
If it's the same as a Td5 Disco (which I believe it is - somebody will tell me if I'm wrong) then it's 3 nuts to remove the downpipe and then another 3 off the manifold.  You'll have to remove the heatshield and actuator as well.

Not a big job, but the bolts can be tricky to get to.

As far as I know there is no need to do anything with the ECU.

smo:
No need to touch the ECU, just make sure you follow the change procedure for the oil feed, otherwise it wont last long!

4x4spud:
what is the procedure for the oil pipe please thanks

Mutz:
Probably the same as the 300tdi, you need to prime the feed pipe with oil and make sure there is oil at the turbo before firing up.
