Hi all,

Where are the two turbo pipe seals located on 55 Reg Audi A3 2.0tdi , how many are there and how can i replace them?

Cheers
 
Dont think there are seals, there are clips that stop the pipe from coming off, each pipe has two.
What do you actually want to do?
 
I have service technician's report for my recently bought car saying that there is oil leak from both front turbo pipe seals.
Part Number: A3C0145117H
are these clips?
 
That doesnt look like a part number to me, usually begin with 8p......
There are 2 intercooler pipes at the front that go to the radiator and they are prone to snap at the connection and have oil residue around it.
If its not them then its pipes that go where there are the big red caps, as shown in this picture. Looks like a pain to change the pipes as the turbo is under the car and access is tight.
But its weird to refer to them as 'front turbo pipe seals', have a look under the car yourself to make sure you know exactly which parts to buy first.
