Hi all, the oil getting into the air system has reached a point where I cannot ignore it anymore. I have a spare turbo but that also has play and shows oil ingress. Given the age of this model I am assuming that all turbos are now worn so do not want to risk getting another used turbo.

Can anyone recommend a turbo rebuild service?
 
Don't forget the engine breather is passing an oil film and the turbo will weep oil. There is always a trace of oil in the inlet piing and manifold. If it's consuming/losing oil at a vast rate then remove the turbo inlet pipe and check for any end float or excessive side to side play in the turbo axle. 👍
Mine will lose a litre of oil between every 6k service..

I seem to recall a member on here getting a replacement cartridge for not a bad price. Easy to do. @brianp38dse might remember who it was.

P38A - A series of faults

You'd yhink they'd take the age of the car into account. Half the time the owner cannot start a P38. Any thief will have to be gifted. :D
