OIL LEAK! pipe near turbo or diverter valve??

[GerryD]

just got back from the the dealers.
Spoke to the tech before going in, said about the oil on the turbo and showed him the air intake pipe and showed him the fresh oil.
Came back an hour later and they are going to replace 3 pipes and a clip, so at least it is nothing major.

Booked in again next week so hopefully it will be sorted then.
Thanks to all the advice on this thread.

Good news
I wonder what the 3 pipes are exactly.

[mkviken]

where are you taking yours to get looked at geoff?

[Snoopy]

Well  .....good question.
Benfield scotswood is who I've used before for the mk6 which could be better the devil you know. Is easiest to get too and back to as on way to work.
Benfield silverlink I've used once before for void bushes on the ibiza (no complaints on job)
Not sure who else.

Got the car back today. Not got any part numbers as there is none on the invoice.

They said "Turbo leaking oil R+I top & bottom covers renew, Turbo pressure pipe & breather hose at rear of engine to top cover & renew breather hose to the front of the engine"

Don't notice too much of a difference, but better to get it sorted now that the warranty is now gone!!

Thanks for the info

Did anyone that had the inlet pipe and small pipe replaced have the part numbers of the parts they changed?

This problem has got to be almost a VW recall by now, to many people having an oil leak in the same area.

Couled start costing people alot of money, now that the 09 cars are out of warranty

Just checked mine after they replaced the intake pipe and breather pipe - still no leak so i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I agree - it should be a recall, especially with oil dripping over the hot turbo.

well just had my GTI serviced today, surprise surprise they have mentioned an oil leak around the turbo. When i had the car MOD'd in June it had "oil leak" on the advisory part of the new MOT form, when i phoned they said it was normal oil seapage around the turbo and 99% of GTI's have this.

I had the MOT done in Maidenhead and have now move to Lincolnshire where i just had the service done. They said it was nothing to worry about but quoted £1300 to sort it out, seems a contradiction on what i am being told. I am now out of warranty so this is now going to be a battle with VW. Seems like someone has not been telling the truth on what is going on with this problem, looks like i will be having an interesting conversation with my VW dealer on Saturday morning.
