Thankyou for this excellent step by step process . Your videos are saving me huge $$ and I almost certainly would have made mistakes trying to do this without your guidance . I’m removing my turbo next as I reckon I have coolant getting into it. Tamd40 cheers

[@shakyangler]

Glad it helped. If you are loosing coolant water the gasket on the exhaust manifold fail and the water is slow to drip out by which time the water is evaporated due to the heat. So hard to find . Check that first . They way found it was leave the engine hatch up and go full WOT and you will see the water drip out which is normal the first exhaust port hole nearest the turbo. You can sometimes get away with tightening the exhaust manifolds bolts up to reseal the gasket

Your welcome 👍

When I did mine I was told to bleed the water feed pipe. Do this once it’s running, crack off the nut until water comes through then immediately tighten 👍

[@johnsonevans8616]

Love the commentary and useful content. What coolant are you using? It’s not the expensive VP green stuff. Cheers

[@shakyangler]

The antifreeze I use is Triple QX G12+ red concentrate 👍

[@malcolmhaviland8434]

Great very informative video, would be interested in the total costs involved, I have a 31a that I want to overall

[@shakyangler]

£695 + vat for turbo . Turbo gasket kit £70 from Keyparts 👍

[@malcolmhaviland8434]

Thanks, it will be a job well worth doing.

[@user-qf9oi9zu6b]

Hi, I’ve watched lots of your videos and have had great success on my Volvo penta tamd31p. Could you tell me why you use Triple QX antifreeze instead of Volvo penta green antifreeze? Keep the great videos coming. Cheers

[@shakyangler]

The antifreeze I use has the same specifications as the Volvo penta but less than half the cost .

[@user-qf9oi9zu6b]

Thanks for your quick reply. Love watching your videos😊

[@davidandersson7945]

hello and thank you for a good video, im about to do this operation myself next week. Can u remember the dimension of the nippel/hose that u drain coolant from ? :)

[@shakyangler]

13mm or 15mm from memory.

[@ralph9987]

Good job. Curious about 2 things…price of overhaul and how many hours on the engine. Thanks

[@shakyangler]

The price was £650 +vat and 1500 hours 👍

[@vipercoil630]

Hello, Thanks for the video. I have the same engine. What was the cost for the refurbished Turbo? Do you find your air filter gets dirty quickly, even with a new Turbo? I found that it is important to have the plastic hose inserted all the way in the air filter housing to keep the filter clean longer. Thanks again.

[@shakyangler]

Glad you enjoyed the video . The cost was £695 + vat . The air filter did get dirty but I have not checked since I changed the filter.

[@ronnybastian4321]

Hello from Germay 😊 which Size (Diameter) has the Pipe to drain the Water Coolant?

[@shakyangler]

From memory it was 3/8 inch Hose or a normal garden hose work well .👍

[@valefur72]

Dear Jamie, do you know where the serial numbers are located on the boat? Thanks in advance!

[@shakyangler]

Do you mean the boats serial number or the engine number

[@valefur72]

@@shakyangler there's another CIN on the inside of the boat, in a hidden position. Maybe near the engine.

[@aquious953]

Do you have to drain all the coolant? Can't you just drain from bottom of turbo drain.

[@shakyangler]

You can just drain the turbo down but I changed the coolant as it was due a change.

[@headshot8888]

Was this engine smoking any. Burning oil from worn turbo seals?

[@shakyangler]

No . Done my turbo because the vanes were worn.

[@Mel-he1hg]

@@shakyanglerHi mate, did it make a difference once fitted ? I have a kadd 44 that surges under load and the kompresser keeps cutting in soooo annoying was wondering if this could be the issue on mine ? Great video by the way

[@shakyangler]

@@Mel-he1hg If the Turbo is worn then you will loose boost pressure and then you drop revs which means your compressor kicks in . I would say get your turbo looked at

[@Mel-he1hg]

@@shakyangler Yes my thoughts too thanks

[@freitastubes]

HO=ow many hours on that turbo?

[@shakyangler]

1500 hours

[@aquious953]

How much was it for reconditioning?

[@shakyangler]

£650 + VAT

[@aquious953]

@shakyangler my guy in Canada, says $1,500. Our dollars nearly been printed out of existence, so that explains double what you pay.

[@shakyangler]

I can buy the turbo for £1200 Here New . Have you looked at buying abroad and having it shipped in

[@aquious953]

@shakyangler my volvo Kad43p turbo (same turbo as yours) is around $5,000. I think a rebuilt one is about half that. You can get an aftermarket one for around $1,500. I'm talking Canadian $.

[@Mel-he1hg]

Nice video mate, I have a Kad44 and I’m looking to get my turbos refurbished the same as yours what company did you use ?
