Mean Green Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 At work we have a 200tdi 90. In Fairness it is in a "used" condition (!!) but it has alway been good mechanically and is only really let down by bodywork. However, Yesterday I noticed a significant Oil build up in the exhaust. What would cause this? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRecklessEngineer Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Leaking turbo seals most likely IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Green Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 So is this a knackered Turbo or is it easily fixable? The reason I ask is there is a plan to replace the 90 in a few weeks and I was half thinking about buying it. Dont mind a body work tidy up but dont fancy having to replace big bits of engine. Should I consider buying it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_P Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I had an instance of oil leaking out the exhaust on a NA diesel. The engine had too much oil in (my mistake). I think oil was getting past the piston rings on the exhaust stroke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
