Another neat (but messy) trick I've heard for removing aircooled VW
pilot bearings is to pack the opening with grease, insert a
tightly-fitting dowel, then give it a solid whack with a hammer.

I use to use the same trick to remove pilot bushings from crank shafts.

Hi Dave,

that Garrett Turbo - the trick is to find it. ;-)

The Mercedes WIS program says it's a Garrett TB03. The compressor
housing is labeled "Air Research 4
The number on the turbo will surely get you the correct part. Try the
manufacturer direct, and several diesel injection services since they
all do turbos as well. You need a cartridge (compressor and turbine
wheels, shaft, and bearing body assembled), the ends will just then
bolt on. If the

That's supposed to be common, said blowby being caused
by bent connecting rods and oval cylinders.
There may be a slight amount of side to side play (the turbo runs on
oil pressure suppored sleeve type bearings), but ANY axial (front to
back ) play means the bearings are shot (and so are the seals).
More to the point, it should spin fairly freely, with no "tight' spots
in the rotation. If
yea there will be a little bit of play, the play goes away when the oil
is pressurized, the shaft rides on a film of oil. If there is alot of
play, thats a different story.

It's a hydrodynamic bearing, so without oil pressure it's not going to
behave like it does in use. I've heard some axial (in-and-out) play is
normal, but sideways play should be minimal.
should there be any play in the turbo shaft when it's good?

So explain why the intake manifold was coated in FRESH oil when I removed the
original turbo. How does the oil get from the sloppy valve guides through a
fairly dry air filter housing to the dry turbo intake? Might I have just
gotten back to back bad turbos?

leak from sitting. What happens is you suck something in and the fins
get damaged, and cause the shaft to then be imbalanced, which wears
things out.
