Oil leak from turbo
« on: 15 September 2014, 15:43 »
Well after finding out what oil I needed (thanks guys) took my car in for an MOT today at VW Bolton to be told it looks like I have an oil like coming from the turbo  :cry:

I had a new engine fitted under warranty (chain tensioner fault) and was advised today to get in touch with the garage that did the engine work (VW Stockport)

A couple of questions:

1. When they renewed the engine will they have fitted a new turbo?

2. What are the probable causes?

3. Will it be expensive?

PS she passed her MOT  :cool:
