Oil on intercooler pipe

[Alzak]

Hi I do have some problem with acceleration under close inspection of my car today I noticed small amount of oil on intercooler pipe can be my turbo on way out ??

 

[Alzak]

I also need part number for this pipe

I have an oil leak from a turbo pipe not major only noticed oil leaking when i filled it up, Think there is a spit in mine which is also the reason for a boost leak not 100% sure though

Remove the air output off the turbo and look inside, try the rotor for play?

for now I have to buy new hose as if is leaking oil there is some hole somewhere but need part number to know what I looking for

If you have oil present on these pipes , the o ring has worn and will need to be replaced , they cost around £4 each from Sere motors.

It will take about 20 mins to fit , easy job to do.

There are iirc 5 or 6 different o rings used on the intercooling pipework , so make sure you get the right one !

so how can I know which one to order??

 

[robdf2]

Speak to the dealer and tell him which pipe it is and which end

turbos always leak a bit of oil. To be on the safe side I'd take rob's advice and change the o-rings. What sort of car is it?

this is Leon FR 2007 but I do not have time to go to dealer and need to order one from net but Dave from sere is off so need number to ge this ordered from different place

[Alzak]

yes Mate it is TDI sorry should let You know in previous post

 

[Alzak]

I didnt use the oem one, I used slightly thicker ones to stop the boost pipe popping off. But I'll see what I can find in work tomorrow

 

[Alzak]

do You know size of this o ring so I can try to order one for size
