3.0 D-Sport Turbo oil feed pipe

Post by X5-D-Sport » Tue Mar 07, 2017 1:30 pm

3.0 D-Sport 2004 Turbo oil feed pipe.
I have a turbo out-pipe gasket to change as its stinking the vehicle out & as much smoke comes from under the bonnet as the rear on a cold start lol...
AND
it stinks in the vehicle if stationary...

I have a manifold + a whole top side gasket kit etc to swap at the same time as I suspect there is also a crack in the manifold..

Question ???
There are apparently 2 variants of turbo that effect which oil feed pipe I need... either a Vacuum OR Electrically operated...
Without stripping the vehicle for hours... is there any easier way to work out which pipe I need to suit which Turbo ?
