Thread: 300Tdi welch plug behind turbo

I've got a leak from the block welch plug directly behind the turbo. Inlet manifold is off ATM which is how I've noticed it. If I just unbolt the turbo and move it aside will there be enough room to replace the plug?

The turbo and exhaust are one on a 300Tdi, from memory there are rigid oil lines to the turbo, I'd go look at mine, but as yours is in bits you'll get a better view.

Yep, one and all thats what I meant. If theres enough flex in the lines to give enough clearance knock then plug in it'd save having to remove the turbo.
