oil leak from turbo feed pipe flange

david small · 10-12-2006, 09:42 PM

have tried to tighten and get to nuts but cannot do it, do I completely have to strip off turbo or any ideas off how to do it. I am really sad, just getting one problem after another, all i want to do is enjoy my mark 3

You don't have to remove the turbo, but you do have to move a few items under that area to get at the line. You might as well change the metal gasket while you are at it though. I think I pulled the lower intake hose and pipe from the bottom of the turbo along with the oil filter and a few other braces and then undid the line that goes into the block.

Hope that helps some.
