2007, VW Touareg R5 TDI 2.5ltr - Turbo removal - Damien roberts
Good afternoon all
I am trying to remove the turbo from my Touareg and I am down to the last bolt under the turbo this is proving a pain to get too please could anyone advise the best method for getting to this bolt

I am under the impression that their are 3 bolts holding the turbo on, two lower and 1 upper bolt. 2 I have removed it is just the one lower back to remove, it seems to be sat in between the engine mount

Kind regards

Never done one,

But from your post if I was in this situation I'd look at removing the engine mount.
