Hi,
I was thinking of removing the turbo out of my mk4 1.9 tdi and taking it apart and cleaning it as the car keeps going in to limp around 60mph. I just wanted to ask from people who have it done before are there any 1 time use bolts that should be replaced once they have been removed. I know there's pins, rollers etc etc, but how about the 3 torx bolts are they one time use? When reassembling the turbo what's the best way to align the turbo so the oil feed line and return are straight? I know people recommend replacing the feed line with a braided one as the OEM has a banjo bolt and the return has a gasket in between should probably replace that too am guessing.
For cleaning it i think am gonna use some carb cleaner and a scotch bright cloth, i don't want to risk scratching any of the surfaces too much.
Thanks
