Hi Guys, my non compressor side turbo has started leaking oil. No smoke just a small pool of oil under the turbo. Having managed to replace the hydraulic clutch unit some time ago I thought I would have a crack at removing the offending turbo.
I've read here that this can be done without removing the rear bumper/ spoiler. So I've taken out the muffler, the bracket holding the turbo and the muffler and undone all the nuts attaching the turbo to the exhaust system. I've also disconnected the oil lines and the air tubes to the turbo.
But!!!!! the turbo is still held by the bolts in the flanges of the exhaust intake and outlet....as they are at right angles.
Perhaps these flanges holding the bolts can be forced back???
Any help would be most appreciated.
