I obviously didn't do my passenger side turbo oil feed line up quite tight enough, it doesn't drip or anything, so its not that loose however there is a permanent bead of oil rond the fitting which eventually runs round it to the underside, It never makes it to the point of dripping as it evaporates off before it gets there. Anyways ive got pretty good access to it as my air cons deleted, with the battery out its not too bad to get to however one of the water lines is in the way, any tips to getting the thing nipped up again? special shaped spanners etc? or am I going to have to undo the water line?

No ideas?

13/14mm for union joints and yes should be very tight and no oil leaks or drips ..

19mm for the water Banjos you can get to the outer joint but the inner one that sits next to the engine

u have no chance

Its actually the 12mm one on the top of the turbo, I can get a spanner on it but because of the flats position cant turn it.

Id say a crows foot tbh or similar.i have one that may do it,either that or an offset spanner.can post them down bud if you wish ?

Cheers jimmer, got one or two bits to do then im gonna have another crack at it from a different angle. Il let you know.

ok forgot about stock pipes are 12mm .. after market oil pipes are 13>14mm

ok forgot about stock pipes are 12mm .. after market oil pipes are 13>14mm

 

that would explain it, lol. I wish they were aftermarket tubs lol. one of these days.

right I think its done, I got ye olde blow torch out, bent the spanner and popped off the water line got another nth of a turn on the nut and that's it no way of moving it anymore, with the current tools. anyways cleaned it up with some carb cleaner, ran the engine up to temp. no leak. however I dunno how well it will hold at higher engine loads and higher oil pressures. so il keep an eye on it, if it continues to weep il have to crack out some crows feet. fingers crossed....

Aftermarkets are imperial mate 9/16 is the correct size.14mm doesnt fit to clever.
