Mr Muscle turbo clean - 2.5TDi AKE

[CharlesElliott]

Thinking of attempting a Mr Muscle turbo clean on my AKE 2.5 TDi. Any guides? I couldn't find anything specific via Google.

I think I'm alright once the turbo is loose, but wanted to know exactly what bolts to undo and any challenges I might have along the way.....

Unbolt the exhaust from the turbo (three bolts)
Get some card ready to fit where the exhaust was fitted to the turbine outlet.
Squirt in Mr Muscle using a length of hose or straw, trying to get it behind the turbine.
Stick the card over the turbo outlet before the Mr Muscle expands and gloops all over your engine bay.
Wait an hour or so, operating the actuator rod every now and then until is is free to move full travel.

Refit the exhaust, then start up the car and clear out the system.
