OIL LEAK! pipe near turbo or diverter valve??

[stu79]

That sounds like one of the parts they replaced on mine, possibly the part no W1K0 129 654 AP referred to on the invoice.

Now at 1,200 miles since the repair and no sign of the leak returning.

Hope that's the end of it for you.

I guess looking at the diagrams above if theres a pressure leak due to a poor seal the oil vapour sent to the turbo by the system could turn into oil again and look like a leak.

Yeah - fingers crossed that they have sorted it now. Now i can look at swapping my RCD310 for an RCD510....

I wonder what the technical service handbook of elsapro says when you type in the symptoms.


Let me know how you get on,
Did they say what else they did so i can give my dealer some hints?
thanks.

Picked up my GTI this evening. I've checked under the bonnet and can confirm that they have replaced the main air intake pipe on the back of the engine and the breather pipe that is wrapped in foil. No sign of a leak at the moment but it is early days. Fingers crossed (again).

Keep us updated as it will probably show after a couple of days if it does come back.
Thanks

I just got the wife's car MOT'd today and this oil leak was pointed out to me by the tester, not VW as they had not any slots left. There seemed to be fresh oil above the drive shaft and he said around the turbo. Car has 10 days warranty left on it, so got it booked in on Tuesday for them to have a look at.
Had a look under the bonnet and there seems to be some oly crud around the air intake downpipe at the back of the engine, as others have mentioned.

Will go armed with this thread so hopefully get it sorted.

Sorry to hear that. I hope the pipe is all it turns out to be.

Had another look when the engine cooled down.
Seems to be fresh oil on a pipe to the right of the air intake at the back of the engine.
Don't know what sort of oil it is but the dipstick is to the max.
Hoping it can be sorted.

Just another thing to add to the white worm on a 2 week old Monza Shadow that was replaced under warranty. They going to love me!!!
