Thread: TD5 Turbo Hose and Oil

Hi. Over the past few days I have been posting on the AULRO Facebook page (its much easier to post photos). I don't want to feel like all I am doing is asking questions all the time. I prefer to do landy work myself and have worked on most of all the cars I have ever owned. I am hoping someone can help me here.

My question is, after pulling the turbo heat shield off to replace the oil cooler hose, I continued to look around and check out the rest of the engine bay. I quickly found that when I took off the induction turbo hose, the 90*rubber bend was split. It was actually taped up by someone and the clamps covered it up. I was very lucky the turbo didn't blow as i found that the tape on the inside was fraying and a small section had actually disappeared (most likely went into the turbo...). Apparently the 90* rubber bend comes together and I can only buy it with the rest of the plastic piping.

Q1. Does anyone know where I can buy this rubber pipe part without buying the entire thing? Either new or second hand?

Q.2 I checked the turbo pipes and found a small amount of oil sitting in the bottom. I know there is turbo mist, but does this amount look ok or would this indicate that there is or will be an issue?

Thanks

Scotty
