Octy VRS TDI boost leak?

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

 

Wondering if anyone can share any thoughts on where or what this leak is coming from? So I took it to my local dealer (Team autotech in Nelson who I highly recommend) for a smoke test and it didn't take long (seconds) for it to start leaking from below the engine side/behind intercooler pipe. Would it be a crack or cover? Obviously image is not the best but at least I know now where it may be coming from. I'll be taking it over to them to repair next week.

 

Should also mention the whistle at high revs which I suspect is due to this

That looks more like an oil line than a boost pipe.

Good point actually, though how come the smoke would make its way to there as it was sent through the airbox/air intake pipe?
