OIL LEAK! pipe near turbo or diverter valve??

[mkviken]

so the turbo etc is all ok then?

Hope you get it sorted. Mine is going in for a service on Monday so I'll ask them to double check that the leak hasn't come back. Fingers crossed (again).

Hope so Ken, think its just those two pipes a poor join leaking oil down the back of the engine and onto the turbo.

[mkviken]

hopefully so - if thats the case its no major fix at all.

so are you going to use the car at all in the mean time?

let us know what happens.

No its in my garage till Wednesday, its back in to vw on Wed morning and I also have my Leon I can use, plus I have snow tyres for the Leon.  The idea for the GTI was always to lay it up in winter months and use something else to commute with but once they say the GTI is fixed I will have no choice but use it for a while to see if its ok before the warrenty runs out.

Glad they found the problem, ill have a good check of mine today to make sure the leak hasnt come back

its going to need a good blast out somewhere when you get it sorted! its sat most of the year now so will be needing a sound thrashing to blow off the cobwebs!


by the way what wheels/snow tyres have you got?

my mate is selling his leon FR so im buying either his OEM 17" wheels or his 18" TD pro race 1.2's (would rather have the SEAT wheels) and will fit them to the Altea and use the current altea wheels for winter wheels for mine.

Another set of alloys that are the same that are on it I got off gumtree. Had fitted with 205 55 16 nankang tyres which were 50 each. I normally go for Vredestein but there 80 each and I don't know how long I'm going to keep the Leon.

Well so far so good, 1 week since the leak was fixed and no sign off it coming back. Hopefully all sorted now, lets get ready to be REVO'd and Milltek'd.

Mine went into the dealer today for a service and they double checked the area for any signs of the oil leak returning - all looks ok still. Time for remap I think.............
