Title: Anyone got a TDI golf?
Post by: bigstring on 11 April 2012, 17:02
I have a Ibiza TDI now but running the same Lump.. anyway.. as posted in the seat owners I thought you guys would be more helpful? Boost pipe?

Good afternoon People of the tdi forum, when doing an oil change this weekend I noticed out the corner of my eye what can only be described as a wasps next attached to what seems to be the pipe between the intercooler and turbo?

Having only owned the car for 7 days, I thought a good service was in order so went and got some oil (wrong oil) then went to see my friend at Audi Swindon and got some of there 5/30 fully sinth at a back door price, correct oil..

Changed the filters and drained the oil and looked accross and to see this hideous bodge job, took some photos and finaly got time to up load them, question is, what am I going to need to (parts) put this right?

as much as I would like to contact the seller and ask for some money back it's not going to happen so might as well see what we can fix.... :evil:

What a mess, and what a great start to Diesel ownership... any help would be much appreciated   :Cheers:

Not sure exactly as i'm not an expert with TDI, but looks like a pipe running to the intercooler or oil cooler? what is the pipe actually made of?
