Hi All,
Having sorted my Clutch with quite a lot of frustration peeling gearbox off and then massaging it back in the place time to move on to next less major issue.
So something is bleeding oil - it is not a whole lot but it is a bit of a dribble seems mostly when running as i do not have any drizzle under the car where it is parked. It is definitely behind engine though as it is just above the driver side drive shaft.
While it is nice and stopping pressed steel suspension bits from rusting I think I'll try and sort it out.
Can anyone advise what common issues are, it does look like it is the bit at very top that is bleeding oil (EGR valve?) and slowly dribbling down and a bit on top of gearbox over time running down the intake hose. I am hoping it is not the turbo but knowing my luck it probably will be.
If it is turbo are there any options i could use as a direct swap other than one from TDI 90? that is without machining/drilling bits - or only upgraded part would be to send it to turbo dynamics or another company to make it a hybrid turbo and refurbish?
Will i need any gaskets/seals etc. i can get ahead of time (serviceable bits?) as i'd like to be as ready as i can be and get it banged out in a weekend as I would like to drive to work . I can see where @A2 Louis comes from with his collection as i feel i need more parking space so i can have another A2 or 2 to drive while i have this one apart as to not miss it too much.
