2003 GU3 4.2 TDI turbo leaking

[Rossco]

As much as I'd love to it doesnt need it.

I must say though, The safari turbo is a good all rounder for around town and fun trips, absolutely nothing wrong with it apart from dropping oil everywhere.

My warehouse manager has laid a sheet of plywood in my car spot at work...lol

I know of a good second hand unit that might be up for sale soon. Low Ks no offroad use. . .

Have you checked the simple things like oil supply and drain in condition and tight.

Yep oil feed is all dry.

There's oil everywhere on the compressor mainly on the front side (inlet side).

I need to give it a good clean and check it properly.

Thanks for the reply's, I spoke to a DM yesterday as I was not sure of having a go myself. It is the factory setup, he said there were no obvious faults and he would clean it out and renew the metal gaskets.
We have had this GU for 11 years ,2nd owner it had 167000 on the clock when we got it, they were all hot Klms, cattle buyers vehicle .
Oil and Filters at 5 and 10000, only replaced Alternator at 130. Clutch at 248. A lot of life left in it yet.
Cheers Brush

Thanks Guys, DM fixed leak today, Put flange seal, Body seal and new hose, suggested a catch can as there is some by-pass but I don't do many k's now so I will address that later on. Cost $145.00 1 1/2 hrs with hose and Gaskets.

Thanks, I might need to do that too.

Was that price with them removing and re fitting turbo as well or were they able to do this with turbo in vehicle surely.
