Title: 1.9tdi leaking oil? please help
Post by: gino-93 on 13 April 2011, 11:03

i seem to have a leak from the pipe on my 1.9tdi mk3 (i dont have a clue what its called) it is coming from the pipe that connects into the engine and it runs to the the top, its the hose with the green circle, is this a major problem? there is oil all over my engine below this pipe but no leaking on to the floor? but the oil temp light came on the otherday and its flashing?
thanks

Sounds like a breather pipe to me mate. not a major problem but you will loose oil. Check the oil level asap. try looking on ebay for a tdi breather pipe and see if it's the same.
That's the best I can do lol

FORD GALAXY used the 1z/ahu tdi engines in them as well.
