- Carefully inspect the air cleaner, air cleaner duct, and the exhaust manifold for any foreign material. Objects left in these areas can severely damage the turbocharger immediately on engine startup.
- Remove old gaskets and left-over material from the exhaust manifold, the oil supply line and oil drain line flanges. Inspect these surfaces for cracks, flatness, or erosion.
- Inspect the oil supply and drain lines for degradation and cracking.
- Make sure that there are no kinks or any other type of restriction or clogging in either line.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
We recommend checking your coolant level when retro-fitting the IS38 turbo on your VW Golf, GTI, or Audi A3, as well as changing the engine oil. Please note that you must have records of performing an oil change with VW-approved oil in order to qualify for warranty coverage for this turbocharger.
