had a bit of intermittant coolant leakage... was very weird because it wouldn't happen when the car was running
turns out it was coming from the after run pump. So i removed the bracket and lifted it out the engine bay. The unit is still in tact and motor is still running so I opened it up and saw
- it's a big magnet (the rusted looking thing)
- coolant only runs through the top part of the unit
- there's an o-ring that was the suspect!

- there's the o-ring that seals the coolant from leaking! 2mm thick, 23mm ID

I guess they need changing after a while! Only cost $4AUD
Literally fantastic!!!
Hi, So for me - this device is regularly running when the engine isn't - and earlier today when I was adjusting my headlights with ignition on, it started running (albeit a bit weakly) even though the engine had not even been started for 3 days? I have in the past unplugged it thinking it would flatten the battery as it was running for ages. Is this something I should consider servicing in the same fashion as you have?
Thanks
Do you have original turbo K04 or different one?
It is kind of like a turbo timer (illegal in Australia too) but I think with turbo timers the engine is still running? With this it is engine off - only the pump is running
Sorry I'm not so good in english: dictionary sayed "wreck --> relict"?A wreck of an original K04.
arh okay thanks - that sounds about right - the reason I didn't think it was cooling the turbo as someone said something about this type of thing not being allowed maybe it was that the turbo isn't allowed to continue to run without the engine running but the water circulating is allowed? this must be why it is both oil and water cooled.
Turbo timers are illegal in the UK as they keep the engine running unattended to 'cool down' the engine/turbo... the after run pumps doesn't require the engine to be running and circulate coolant through the turbo to help cool it down
semantics... buying and owning one is not illegal... using one in this manor commits an offenceI don't think they are illegal as such,but it is illegal to leave your car with the engine running,unattended.I had one fitted to my last car and had no problems but I always sat in the car until it switched off.

I think I understand now, thank youits a "wreck" because it has a cracked hotside and the coldside turbo wheel has a little in / out movement - I cleaned the hot side with Mr Muscle when replacing head gasket and adding the 3inch downpipe. I was tempted to get a service kit but you have to remove the turbo to fit it and then adjust the actuator properly and replace all the oil feed lines. then if you do all that you may as well replace the turbo in its entirety but if you do that you need to change the oil pump and oil pick up, but to do that I need to take the sump off and to do that I will need to drill off those 3 impossible to reach and always rounded off and seized sump bolts, but if I took the sump off with the head also off I may as well change the rods and if I do that I may as well get new pistons and a rebore etc
he swallowed a spider to catch the fly...
its easier to just admit the turbo is a wreck
Italian tyres "Cinturato" means bies belted in italian, did you choose it because you need strong sidewall? If yes, Bridgestone Potenza S001 are very strong aswellI wanted all black wheel bolt covers but i stuffed up the plastidipping job and it lifted in a couple of sections next to the centre logo.
So i went to peel it off to start again and ended up with this "mistake"

Depends what power you are planning for.Thank you a lot So Porsche 986 4-pot brakes are the best choice?
The engines output isn't governed by its cylinder head.Hi Ian, why would you use an AGU's head? That engine has 150 PS only, right?

The AGU is largeport
Thank you very much both, I didn't know about this. I don't understand why BAM has large valve intake instead AGU has small one, I would bet on opposite choice before read your post.the heads are interchangeable with the 1.8t's and the large port (VS the small port on BAM/AMK) allows for better flow for bigger than k04 turbos
Info and pictures on large vs small port
