Hi all
I have been tracing an oil leak which has been coating the back of my van
for some weeks now.I found that oil was coming from the feed pipe to the
turbo which was fixed by a clean and tighten. However on further
inspection there was also a leak from the turbo plastic outlet pipe, on
removal i found this pipe and the interior of the turbo to be caked in thick
sludge.
Is this a sympton of the first problem(oil pressure loss from leaky pipe)
fixed by a good clean and change of oil. Or is my turbo shot aarrggh. If
deceased then will i be able to replace with the turbo from my 1.9td
passat.
Alternatively how much will i be looking at to swap tengines round if i
take the engine out of passat and deliver in me van to you fine people at
brickwerks. Passat engine ran great when car was taken off the road but
has 120k compared to 90k on the 1.6. Would like a bit of extra kick
though. If the turbo is a big problem then it would be a good excuse to
go for the change.
Advance thanks
