Good morning,

 

Having had the turbo refurbished on our 2005 1.2tdi, it has developed a leek from the oil feed pipe to the turbo.  It was fitted with a new Ajusa pipe (as I believe the original part is NLA) but after only a few months of driving this is leaking and the replacement one the mechanic has sourced is also leaking.

 

This is what I got from our mechanic;

 

It’s the turbo oil feed pipe with a small flexible section in.  They all leak on the flexible so it's a manufacturing fault with them.  I'm assuming they changed the original when they fitted the turbo and we have fitted another too but they all leak at the same point on the flexible section

 

Is this something anyone has experience of and if so, is anyone able to offer advice on a better replacement than the Chinese rubbish sourced this far.

 

Thanks in advance

Never ever heard of any leaking pipe.

The stock turbo that had been mechanically refurbished in the way that the wings and the surface are cleared of uneven spots, is the way to go.

It will last forever and work without problems if it is correctly handled.

Are you sure it is not the pipe from the filler neck to the filter housing? This is secured in a plastic bushing which wears out, gets loose and and causes leaks when the oil is thrown around. 11 and 12 in the diagram

Thanks for the reply.  The refurbishment of the original turbo was done via the pre eminent A2 specialist here in the Uk with their recommended turbo refurb people so I’m as confident as I can be that everything which should have been done was done.
 

The mechanic it is now with had looked after the car for 15 years but has been struggling for time of late hence WOM handling the turbo work.  Mark is adamant the issue is with the pipe.
