Hi all

I just replaced the turbo in my Octavia 1,9 tdi bjb. This whent really well except for the oil return pipe.

First, the new one I bought did not have the right bend (is this normal?) and did not fit. I then had to put in the old pipe in again (a bit fiddly once the turbo is in the car...). Unfortunately, oil is now leaking from the seal between the return pipe and the turbo.

I replaced the seal twice and still get the same leak. Has anyone got an idea to what I am doing wrong?

Best regards,

Miles

Are you sure its from the seal and not the flexi section. Oil has a weird habit of defying gravity etc. If its from the flange then maybe some hylomar blue as well as the gasket. Have used it in the past when flange was pitted and not making decent seal.
