Title: 200tdi turbo oil? help
Post by: paranoid android on July 22, 2008, 14:49:58: hi earlier this week i took my air filter out to replace it found oil leaking from the turbo into the air filter, not alot of it but i was adviced thats the turbo oil seal going? and if im not careful i know it can become catastrophic? well i know its bad but i was thinking does anyone else know about this problem, is it common, does it need attention immediately? and whats a good price for a re-con or mine to be re conditioned? all help appreciated
thanks
josh
