Turbo oil seal
Hi folks :)
How bad is it when the oil seal goes on the turbo? Can it be driven for a little while until it gets fixed that is? Does it leak much oil? Is it a big job to sort and is it costly? Thank you :thumb: |
The turbo is a VF 35 if that's any use :)
|
The vf35 has two little pistons with a single ring as an oil seal behind both the impeller and the exhaust wheel. 1 behind each. Repair kits are available on ebay that include these. Repaired one a year or two ago that was leaking oil into the wastegare area. Any competant/careful mechanic can repair. Be careful not to upset the balance though.
|
Is it a viable repair or would it be just as easy and cost the same as going out and getting another turbo the same?
Thanks :thumb: |
Your decision really. Repair kit is £70=£80 from memory.
|
Seen them Ebay for £45 with £15 delivery so £60. From Japan (not sure if any good) but would need to know if its the right kit and then find someone who can do it for as cheap as poss :(

Give these a shout there pretty good and will rebuild for you :thumb:
