Cheers Kaz, well took the intercooler pipes of & as expected caked in oil, so that will be 1st to clean up, need to get on ramp to remove turbo etc as cant get behind, but not impossible job tbh, from elsa seems straight forward, just have to find the damn air leak which I reckon is what caused this or could be the solenoid block valve which houses the N75 amongst other valves in one unit now, we'll see.
What do people recommend to clean the oil out & when you flushed the intercooler, was it a removal job then clean out then refit?
Teaching me more about the car now, oh well in one big way I was unlucky in another was lucky as VAG dealer round corner who stuck it on trailer & drove us back to italy at a cost but still better than being stuck up **** creek without.....................
Ah owning cars, a bain sometimes, but quite looking forward to refitting turbo, also realised the engine seemed little loose, rocked the gearbox & seems the engine/box mount on that side is very loose/worn so another reason to take it all out, might help what I always thought was a loose drive somewhere, but do I upgrade bushes to powerflex while in there, another cost.
