***HOW-TO INSIDE*** Replacing oil pick up pipe - Intermittent low oil pressure
Scottymon:
Oil pickup issues we're prevelant on the Trionic 7 SAAB's... after cleaning / replacing the pickup, lots of turbo's died :confused: Simply because they had been starved for so long, weakend and then experience full boost... not sure if this will be an issue on the K03, but it was always an annoying preventative maintenance issue on the T7's.

I can't believe how bad your pick up was. Whipped my sump off last week and after 72k was still mint.
Worth checking at service intervals at higher mileage for sure :happy2:
One thing to note is that the turbo oil pipe bolts are spline and don't come in the halfords set (not in my 170pc one anyway) closest thing was T40, that I used to undo them but realised when it came to tightening them back up
Tfsi_Mike:
If it helps anyone I've got a pick up pipe in the classifieds :happy2:

After reading all these oil pick up threads I changed mine 3 weeks ago to be on the safe side :happy2:

For the cost of it, it's certainly worth checking at service time.
