hi all,  what a pain in the ass today is. i am al ready to start on the venture today with the car but it is pissing down and i dont want to lie in a puddle under the car. how annoying!

just wondering guys but how long do you think the job is, to get the car on axle stands, get the bumper off and get a look at the hoses? im just trying to understand if i might be able to get it done during the week one evening after work?

err in terms of jacking it up 10 mins tops, to get the bumper off about 25 mins being careful.

you might need to remove the belly pan which is 10 mins tops.

so all in all i'd guess about 1 1/2 to 2 hours max

hi guys, i had a little looksie today and report back for some further guidence.  what i noticed today was loads of oil which had leaked and i took some pictures of where it leaked frpm and a few pipes which were also covered with alot of oil.  the problem i had was once i got under the car i really did not know what pipe was the hose you are all talking about and where i should be looking.  (i dont know where the turbo actually is, sorry guys) 

i am hoping you could point out for the pics what i need to check.  also if the turbo was blown/gone would the car start etc? i will post the pics up later tonight after i can figure out how to get them on the site???

this is a pic of when i was under the car just to show you guys what i was looking at.  maybe you could explain what these parts are? are they important part of the elimination? just to let you know alot of these pipes in the centre had a fair amount of oil on them

please help guys, am really counting on you....once the car was on the axel stand i was like what now...i can see an oil leak but wheres the turbo?

Hmmmmm, none of those pictures are really helping. The air conditioning compressor pipes have some oil on them that has dripped from higher up, and the same with the intercooler pipe, but no more than is on mine really.
You need to get at the turbo and that is part of the exhaust manifold. On the 110 model AHF the turbo forms part of the exhaust manifold, its not seperate.
If you look up at the os drive shaft, where it connects to the gearbox there is a shield around the inner CV joint. Above that is the turbo.

apologies for the poor pictures, its hard to take a pic so close up whilst im on the ground.  i am still concerned about the oil dripping?
as for the turbo, is it quite further back, ruffly under the drivers and passengers seats?...some kind of laymen indication would be great. maybe somene could kndly point it out in the picture as in save it and doodle on the pic and post it back up?  i have a haynes manual but it doesnt tell me where it is. once i have located it i should be on a better route.

i am hoping to get some reponses and get back under the car today.

thanks very much for everyones responses, much appreciated.

its hard to say from those pics, bit if looks like the majority of the oil is coming from the oil filter area.  hard to be 100% sure on that as i've only really seen the filter from above.

when it comes to the inter cooler and connection pipe work the haynes is pretty poor.

regarding the turbo, if you take the engine cover off (the bit with tdi on) its will be in the top left hand corner (closest to drivers side) this should have a pipe that runs along the side of the engine then and to the inter cooler, the bit behind the engine goes to the exhaust i think.

if you can follow the route of the one coming out of the turbo then you should be able to check for any leaks.

not sure what part that is, but don't think it should be leaking oil, best bet is to clean it up and check for exsuse oil as you use the car, i'd imagine you'll get some leakage as the connectors aren't going to be perfect.

hope this helps

thanks for your help ridge. according to the previous response the turbo is located within the manifold, i take it this is not the same as under the engine cover.  apologies in advance if i have this all wrong.

the oil leaking is a fair bit and actually drips form that corner shown in the pic and yes it is on the same side as the oil filter (but, oil filter is right at the top and this pic is obviously from under the car).  do you think this problem is linked to the smoke etc and turbo?

[immortalkhalsa]

i would really appreciate your help.  i can only do this if you guys help me out otherwise im going to end up loosing and giving it to the stealers 

responses please guys.
