How much ....?

[sprout99]

Finally worked out much to my disgust that the intercooler is leaking

Somewhere at the base it's split and oozing oily gunk.

How much is an intercooler for ASZ TDi ?

I'm sitting down already .................

Cheers

Erm Your intercooler should not be leaking gunky oily stuff from the split, sounds like yer turbo's slobbering down to your intercooler it should be charge air only.

You get a surprising amount of oil in intercoolers that builds up over time.

When you get excessive oil in intercoolers you loose engines BIG STYLE.

Must be crappy turbo's What make are they ??? KKK's, Holset, Garret.

Perhaps its a common fault on low boost petrols or diesels !

Real diesels boost up to 2.7 bar

The engine oil breather are vented through the turbo system for emisions regulations so there will always be oil in there

it's crap but true.

The breathers a separator unit that puts the fumes through the turbo and the oil in the sump. if the engines over full with oil that might explain it otherwise crappy turbo's

Oil through the combustion process screws emissions and cats so i cant see Audi fitting dodgy turbos

 

[sprout99]

i've managed to source one thorugh a local cooling system repair company

OEM part made by Valeo and saved myself £150 - even came with clips, MAP sensor and rubber grommets

WHAT A FUKCING RESULT - :thumbsup:

can't wait to drive car with full boost
