02 Sharan Tdi Turbo Pipe

[tona955]

Hi All,

 

I have a 2002 Sharan TDi (AUY, I have a small leak from the turbo oil return pipe below the turbo unit, I can get to all the bolts no problem but can't seem to remove the nut that connects to the block.

 

Is there an easy way to remove this pipe or should I be removing the drive shaft and gearbox mount? I don't have a problem removing it but just wondered if there was an easy way.

 

Regards

i had the same problem

 

this was a nightmare job for me

there is a connecting piece in between the pipe and the block, it like a nut with threads on each end

 

everytime i went to tighten up the nut on the pipe it would work the other loose, in the end i had to remove the pipe where it connects to the block tighten up the other nut first, then carefully fit pipe back on, i think i had to hold the pipe with something whilst i tightened it back up to stop the pipe twisting and working the connecting piece loose

 

hope this helps and makes sense
