Title: New Turbo..New oil feed line?
Post by: EuanGtTdi on 17 December 2010, 19:58
Hey

right so my turbo went on my vrs massively amount of play on the shaft

is it a good idea to change the turbo oil feed at the same time?

also would the garage (prime) i think it is the turbo before start it up or something?

Yes, a new oil feed pipe is recommended: it is logical to do so because a new oil pipe means clean, uncontaminated oil entering your new turbo for the first time!

You should be able to pick one from the dealers for around £25 inc VAT.

The mechanic fitting your turbo should prime it, as per the usual instructions of your turbo supplier.
