found oil on turbo vrs

Featured Replies

As above I jacked the car up yesterday, undone the underneath engine tray and found oil on top of it, also found oil splats in the engine bay.... and the other side of the bonnet ( engine side) cloth there's some oil soaked into that. Anyways I look and the turbo has oil all around it but only underneath, but also the egr is leaking oil so would the oil be dripping onto the turbo or is the turbo had it. Help would be great guys please

Best to start by properly cleaning off all oil running the car up then checking it after say a good run to see where the leaks are from. My egr leaked like mad before replacement. Got to factor in cars leak oil, which isn't the end of the world as long as it's minor just need to monitor etc.

Would anyone suggest an egr delete?? It was my first port of call but don't want the engine management light up. It's a 53 plate so is that a blt engine?

your eml will come on no matter what engine code, blt is harder to be mapped i believe, but on a 53 plate it will probably be a asz engine

The turbo won't throw oil all over your engine bay unless it explodes or the oil feed splits. Check the oil feed and EGR after a really good clean up in that engine bay so you can visibly locate the source.

Also the ASV will be gone, would effect will this do to the car. Sorry for the questions but i'm normaly a petrol head

I agree with sepulchrave about the clean up. I had a similar leak, turned out to be the turbo oil feed seal had a chunk missing, £7 from Skoda, a lot cheaper than a turbo.

if yours is a blt you get a blt specific egr delete kit, if its an asv you dont have to worry about that

Il try and get the car back up on ramps and check the oil feed. Was hard to see though if I remember from the other day

Your car will be ASZ. No need to delete as it doesn't actually do anything in terms of performance. All it's doing is removing a section so you don't have to clean it.

If you remove the EGR and clean it, it should be fine. After you have refitted it, the elephant CCV mod will help keep it clean for the future.

Cheers Matt. I'm going to keep to the egr, give it a clean and and block up the silicone pipe going to the space ship :) that way will reduce soot in the manifold and so on. The elephant mod you speak of, is there a complete kid I can buy and not have to fanny around d

No you sort of have to build it yourself. It's a proper DIY job now but of you source decent parts can look good.

1.5m 19mm ID black silicone hose

1 Jubilee Clip

And a Rubber Ferrule from a Walking stick

That's what I used.
