Title: Turbo hose replacement?
Post by: killsta on March 16, 2015, 10:05:18 pm
Hi all,

After experiencing the common boost pipe oil leak a couple of months ago, and replacing the seals, my car has started to leak oil from the same location. Took it to my local mechanic who's said it's the same turbo boost hose as last time, so I'll need to replace the pipe this time.

It is the pipe on the driver's side that runs under a pulley and goes into the intercooler(?) I think. I've had a google and from some images it looks like there are two pipes, and some only one. Does any body know what it is I need to order for him to  replace?

My car is a 2007 GTi.

Many thanks!

Had mine replaced today, mine was number 9 on that diagram.

Here's hoping that's the end of my issues  :laugh:

I think I've got this issue - spotted oil on the pipe during oil change and car squeals initially sometimes under load.

How much did it cost you to replace killsta?

Pipe was about £60 if I recall from a dealer, and I paid £20 to my local mechanic to fit it for me :)
