    D4 3.0TDv6 cleaning turbos

    Hi. Anyone know the easiest place to get fairly close to the turbos so that I can spray in a turbo cleaner. The closest I seem to be able to get is the hoses on the downstream side of the MAF (which seems a long way away from the turbo itself!) I assume it's much easier with a ramp, but I'm...

    Steering wheel buttons not working

    Hi guys I have a 54plate D3 - the buttons on the steering wheel for the audio and cruise have always been a tad temperamental but have now packed up altogether. They only seem to work with the wheel turned to the 10 O'clock position. Any magic fixes? Cheers W

    TDv6 - blown turbo, knackered box, dead plugs???

    I thought I also ought to check the turbo hose. I've just been out under torch light and had a good look at the turbo hose - no signs of any splits but obviously I can only see the top section! However, lots of oil/gunk around the box which presumably houses the butterfly valve!

    TDv6 - blown turbo, knackered box, dead plugs???

    Cheers for the advice. Disco has been serviced and a litre of 2-stroke run through it, plus when they serviced it they ran their own 'special' cleaners through it. Car still runs pretty much the same (i.e. won't pull away for several seconds, and won't go up hills!!) the Garage reckons...
