It won't be the reason you're losing oil

Mine doesn't use a drop between services (except this one lol) so you got other problems

TIP =  turbo intake pipe

No idea as its still sat in the box.  EGR delete pipe is a good one.

Start saving for a new clutch  :lipsrsealed:

Just got a new clutch  :laugh: wasnt due to the remap tho! the slave clyinder was leaking fluid onto the clutch causing it to slip....i think  :undecided:

yeah i was going to get a turbo back milltek, £500....is it really worth it??

If it's mapped then apparently supposed to be a good buy, also supposed to sound really nice also.

I need some rims then zorst will be next for me also.

Apparently some say changing the downpipe on a diesel is the best part about changing the zorst from front to back as the standard is more restrictive.
Don't take this as gospel it's just what i've read on forums.
