Oil in intake pipes

[edwin]

Hi All,

I am having yet another problem with the old girl (91 2.4td), after replacing my glowplugs today I have noticed that there seems to be quite a bit of oil in the pipes that are going to and from the turbo i.e. the one that says EFI diesel on it going to the manifold and the black plastic one and also a little in the blue air filter one.

Should I be worrying about this? I have read that there can be a little in the pipes due to the breather hose but I have seem to have quite a bit!

Any help would be fantastic!!

Thanks,

Ed.

Mine tends to gather quite a bit in the pipes but, Every time i clean them out it doesn't actually tend to be a lot it usually looks worse than it is

I took all mine apart and cleaned thoroughly when I changed the head, lots of gunge on a 80,000 mile car, I also blocked off the egr as this is what I put it all down to, imo anything impeding airflow, whether its engine breathing or intake needs attention for a sweet running motor, keep it clean and it should be fine.
