AAZ turbo oil leakage 1.9 td

Post by jacko1967 »

Hi anybody out there with pics of there AAZ convertion turbo oil return pipe??? my 2 year old turbo is blowing oil thru and out, iam thinking the oil return line does not have enough fall to return oil fast enough ,the return line was replaced similar time to the turbo all have low mileage I've done so little this year .Any one had similar issues with AAZ the sump is the JX any info would be good I don't want to damage a good turbo .

very common issue on TDi's and IDI TD's in T3 busses..

I don't think your pipe has enough flow/drop

Just checked and I can't see an AAZ oil return line on brickwerks.. Are you using the JX or AAZ manifold/turbo?

Do you have a friendly hydraulics place local?

Hi thanks for the reply it's a JX turbo and manifold and JX return pipe I've looked for a AAZ return but never noticed one on brickwerks ?? I think the drop or fall is very slight too.
