1.6TD return oil pipe ???

Post by roobarbncustard »

I have just noticed that Tonka Vin Diesel (the wife chose the name !!!) is leaving a calling card of slight oil on the driveway. Under investigation i have spotted that the return pipe from the turbo to the sump is covered in oil and dripping slightly from there..my question is simple.....where the hell do i locate one from ?
I have checked Brickwerks, GSF and even my local, friendly...not ...VW dealer...Nothing

helping please
thanks neil

Just first check its not just oil from the turbo central housing bearing assembly area due to shot seals... its possible oil dripping from the turbo body itself us just running down the return tube. Clean and degrease and check source of oil maybe.. ?

At least, that's what it does on mine.
