Title: Oil in my diverter valve
Post by: ReflexRob on September 12, 2015, 09:21:17 pm

Went to replace my original dv today and got as far as removing the electrical block only to find it full of oil.

Previous turbo ownership experience suggests to me that my turbo is shot.  Is this the case?

No oil can be seen when driving the car hard and it's only done 50k.

Well the old dv is off,  no more oil cane out so there wasn't much and it's an original dv so fingers crossed I will get some extra boost now!
