Ive recently had a 1.9 TD AAZ put in my van. I havent done may miles in it yet and the oil level in the sump has dropped. At first glance there is no leaks but ive noticed that once the engine is up to temperature there is somekey oil fumes coming out of the crank case breather and also some oily residue!!!! Any ideas why this may be happening would be much appreciated!

Cheers

SI

Is your turbo oily? or more so than usual?

David.

Ive just realised that the pipe which runs from the breather back into the engine block is missing! Any ideas where i can get one? Cheers

If you had the engine fitted by someone else ask them where it is!

MK3 golf cl is where I got mine from. Passat or any other car that had an aaz should have what you're looking for.

There are 2x different types of the 2nd breather connections to the block so make sure the hose & the block connector are matching.

Mine had just the hose to the inlet as well. Fitting 2nd hose helped with the amount of ""pooh"" coming in the inlet hose to the turbo.

Is your engine high mileage?

Cool cheers for that. Yeah it's done 150 000 miles. Hopefully this will get it sorted. It's seems to run fine and has loads more power that my old 1.6.
