P reg 306 D Turbo - Turbo Replacement

Hi,

Does anyone know how easy it is to change a turbo on a P reg 306 D
Turbo?

Is it possible to take it from the bottom of the car or would I need to
remove the engine?

Any ideas about how long it might take?

Anyone know what a scrap/new one might cost?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

Done one many years ago. and we did it from under the car and from the
top. it helps if there is two of you doing the job,remove time about 1
hr. ring a company called find a part or look it up on internet.
good luck from Chris Addlestone Surrey

 

Thanks for your help. 1 hour, you must know what you're doing! I'm a
day in and having problemsI've found that I can't undo the bolts
holding the turbo to the exhaust manifold are rusted in place and are
refusing to budge. The turbo and exhaust manifold are too big to be
removed as one unit. Did you have problems with this? The scrap one
that I plan to replace is with has the same problem.

Thanks again

Mark

 

No sorry we had no problem doing the job,
