Club 80-90 Forums

A bit of a long shot really, but does anyone in the Beds, Herts, Bucks area know where I could get, off the shelf, the turbo oil feed pipe for a JX diesel or failing that somewhere that can make these pipes up?!

Also, any ideas what sort of pressure the oil runs down this pipe? Had half a notion yesterday to try and use rubber piping but without some idea of the pressures involved decided not to.

Won't lie I'm in a bit of hurry to get hold of one to try and save our holiday as the bastad thing decided to crack yesterday, right on the union, depositing half the oil contents around the A40 Oxford ring road!!

Many thanks

Mike


PS. Were you in one of the the 3 T25's that went past us? 1 Villa, 1 not sure and 1 Devon that went past us?

Got one here in Berko, Herts can let you have to get out of trouble...

Its not pressure (none to speak of) but the oil temperature it needs to withstand.

PM me

thanks for the replies so far, but just to confirm it's the feed pipe from the oil filter to the turbo and not the return to the sump


ta again.

I metre long should do it Mike, reinforced but not necessarily heat protected as such I'm told. Take your old pipe and most hose shops shpuld be abvle to make one up cheap enough.
