Well, I replaced my turbo oil return tonight which might I say was in a very bad way, all melted and the jubilee clips were too big for the pipe, even when fully closed!!!!! Done now tho and should be ok!

Did a service too, new filter, plugs and I stuck in Fuchs Silkolene Pro s 10w50 fully synthetic oil, WOW what a diference, engine is now much smoother and seems to idle nicer (Wad running Halfords 5w50 motorsport oil). Recommend it to anyone!

Bad point of the night tho, throttle cable snapped! You couldn't make it up! luckily only 1 min up the road but embarrassing nevertheless!

bloody Fords eh !!

You give them a bit of lovin' and they turn round and kick you in the bollox just to show you who's really the boss

Least it should be an easy fix

Bet the plugs have done more to the idle control than the oil has tho' - but always worth it

Try your brake fluid next as many seem to forget that

hi m8 just read your post on you replacing your oil return pipe from ur turbo can i ask was your turbo filling will oil as mines doing it and was thinking it might be a bloked oil return cheers

 

nice one maty

khanny

your oil return has a big chance of being blocked dude happend to me, myns was blocked up and eventually made the car smoke lol worth a look my friend

 

No it was melted, flattened, cracked, loose jubilee clips on it and leaking!!! Lol

I agree with Saq tho, worth a look, and as long as it's still flexible and not gone hard like mine did you should be able to get it off quite easily! If it's gone hard, due to the way it's plugged in, you'll either have to move the turbo away and then pull it off the lug on the block or cut it in half like I had to!

Give it a look over tho!
