    300tdi Dumping Oil out of exhaust.

    Thanks guys, she's all fixed and back on the road today. Yet to let the owner (auntie) take her out. There is oil and smoke still but it's not dropping when checking from the dipstick, so it has to be the left over in the exhaust. Thanks guys once again!

    300tdi Dumping Oil out of exhaust.

    Right here's what the situation the oil pipe from the turbo to the intercooler (elbow pipe) feeling inside the hole I can't feel anything but the inside of the pipe had a large bulge nearly blocking the pipe itself (guess that's due to age) but if I remove the air in on the turbo and wiggle the...

    300tdi Dumping Oil out of exhaust.

    Cheers guys appreciated , well I'm nipping back round this afternoon after work, and I've told them not to drive it. I'll give the turbo the once over. I've seen some second hand turbos for cheaper or is it better to just recon the existing unit

    No dipped or full beams headlights

    Apologies you could be right. Reconnected and it sorted, is soon failed again but if I messed with the connection it would stay on, just seams to be very irrattic. So gonna buy a stalk today and see if that fixes it. EDIT. If I press here on the melted connection they start working...

    No dipped or full beams headlights

    Right waited till there was light this morning, I've tested the stalk using a multi meter and it's fine, I have continuity with the switch on and none with it off so that tells me the switch is fine, but on removing the connection at the back of the switch I can see one is badly melted. I...

    Thanks mad hat man. I've turned off the talkapp signature ;-) and how could you test the stalk? Is it a case of replacing or could you short out some pins on the connection?
