New turbo calibration

I’ve recently fitted a new turbo on the actuator it had a tag stating it would need to be calibrated using a diagnostic tool I asked if vagcom can do this and was told it can.

I’ve watch several videos but mine doesn’t appear to be able to do it.

2016 2.0 102 CXGB

Any help appreciated

Well, VCDS is needed for the calibration but the calibration itself is traditional wrench task.
Please check below
 
Ah I’ll get on this tomorrow morning see how the land lies with it. It’s testing my patience now!
 
Spend all afternoon on it cannot find the culprit and it’s driving me mad here’s a video I’ve done a YouTube short which hopefully shows what I’m working against.

Any help would be appreciated I hate to say it but I’m feeling pretty beat on this one.

May have finally struck gold. Everyone who has listened to it has been sure the sound is coming from the intake area so a lot of my time has been spent on that however it appears my EGR could be at fault. I’ve just done an output test on the egr and when it activates the sound goes then as it deactivates the sound comes back.

Any thoughts?
 
While running the Basic Settings IDE00457-Test of turbocharger - please make a log of the following data

IDE00021 Engine RPM​
IDE00347 Air mass: actual value:​
IDE07738 Charge air cooler inlet: pressure sensor 1 bank 1: raw value​
IDE07744 Particle filter: air pressure sensor 1 bank 1: raw value​
IDE07757 Exhaust recirc.valve 1 bank 1: posit.feedback - Actual value​
IDE07783 Turbine actuator 1 bank 1: posit.feedback - Raw voltage​
IDE07784 Turbine actuator 1 bank 1: posit.feedback - Spec.value​
IDE07785 Turbine actuator 1 bank 1: posit.feedback - Act.value​

For how-to-log see below
 
No need to drive - just enter into the Basic Settings, select "IDE00457-Test of turbocharger" - do not click "Go" yet.

At the bottom left select "Show measuring data"

Tick the following data items for monitoring:

IDE00021 Engine RPM​
IDE00347 Air mass: actual value:​
IDE07738 Charge air cooler inlet: pressure sensor 1 bank 1: raw value​
IDE07744 Particle filter: air pressure sensor 1 bank 1: raw value​
IDE07757 Exhaust recirc.valve 1 bank 1: posit.feedback - Actual value​
IDE07783 Turbine actuator 1 bank 1: posit.feedback - Raw voltage​
IDE07784 Turbine actuator 1 bank 1: posit.feedback - Spec.value​
IDE07785 Turbine actuator 1 bank 1: posit.feedback - Act.value​

Select "Log" > "Start" (to log the data)

Now click on "Go!" (to start the test)

PS. Of course would be nice to get the same recording when running the EGR test
 
Yes, thanks.

"IDE00457-Test of turbocharger"​

The actuator -​

moves as expected

Charge pressure -​

I was expecting that pressure would peak at 1500 mbar (based on my CXEB engine data). Now it's barely half of that (250 mbar above atmospheric).
Perhaps someone with CXGB engine could kindly provide the same data package for comparison.

By the timings on the video the sound comes when turbo generates high charge pressure.

Intake air flow & exhaust flow -​

Quite fluttery - curves should be nice and smooth
EGR is closed during the test so it shouldn't affect.

Have you ruled out an air leak between turbo and intake manifold?
Can you make an air leak - to see if the sound then disappears?

I’ve just done an output test on the egr and when it activates the sound goes then as it deactivates the sound comes back.
Any chance to make a video (or just a sound recording) while running and logging the EGR test?
 
I have pressure tested and smoke tested all the pipe work from the air box to turbo and turbo to inlet manifold. I’ll run an egr test and video it now.
