Hi all,

 

New to this,

 

Bit of a novice when it comes to mechanicals, im just not that excited when driving my Fabia MK I VRS, contemplating why?

 

Could this be a boost leak?

 

Any help appreciated.

 

There are certainly signs that the green rubber o-ring type seal in the end of that section of boost pipe aint sealing as well as it should!

 

The oil gathering on the pipe is condensed oil vapour meaning that theres not an air tight seal on that join. Not a conventional boost leak like a torn hose or pipe that's popped off but it could do with looking at, give it a good clean up and see whats what. The seals are about £10 each and if you can work a flat blade screw driver you can change it yourself.

Thanks alot.

 

Good explanation, I'll give it a check over the weekend.

 

Cheers

£10 each? That's absolutely mental!
