« on: June 04, 2009, 20:48:28 »

Do you mean the metal one that runs underneath the turbo? That won't be a problem as I fitted it to the turbo on the workbench and access to the bottom is ecxellent :)

would like to say i planned it but it just sort of happened :) but when we took it off the 3.1 engine the oilfilter was in the way of the bottom of the pipe so had to take it off at the turbo(hope that makes sense), 1 nut was fine but to do the seocond one we had to use a socket that fits on a screwdriver. having soaked the nuts and bolts on both turbos in wd40 2 months ago certainley made things easier :)

Yeah that's the [!Expletive Deleted!] - you can use an (8mm is it) goose neck spanner and that clears the tubo, it it's a flat at a time...
