Hello to all

 

If you have a flexible pipe pipe delivering the oil to the Turbo it will need to be replaced with a genuine replacement for any warranty to be honored, as the internall of the flexible pipe can collapse and also it retains a lot of burnt oil residue as it gets hot being next to the Turbo itself.

Change oil and filter before you run the engine.

i did the turbo on my 1.8 and it wasnt all that bad

3 bolts hold the exhaust to the turbo flange

you will have an oil line also

its just annoying as its very little room to work in

The problem will be the nuts holding the turbo to the minifold, they are akward to get to.

 

I can't remember the size of the nut, but I think it is a 13mm head. Treat yourself to a suitable half-moon spanner and make it easy for yourself! It will be a fiver well spent.

Aye, a solid feed and a flexible hose to the sump. And the brace on the back too. 4 nuts, 1 bolt and two oil pipes. And the connection to the exhaust.
