i suppose that is an option but would not be the most straight forward thing to just pop out and run down to the local turbo man. There are folks who refurbish them, and I would imagine it is possible to remove the seals and such like. But i wouldn't imagine it's a cheap process what with the labour to remove them! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Very very slightly but relevant to the debate on the future of diesel in general......

Not specifically an oil drain from the turbo, but there are 2 sump plugs on the engine to drain not just one, and the turbo oil pipe ends up at the plug which gets missed, so it can get gunged up with cruddy oil. I think this is what mjd was referring to. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

That explains it a bit better then. I posted all I was told. Thanks for a bit more of the specifics.

Anyone have a diagram of the working and reason for the second drain plug? |

When I just bought my 2007 TDV8 I negotiated that the Turbo Hoses would be relaced as a preventative measurement before delivery following having read several members had issues with these without notice. Hopefully this will at least prevent that from happening the coming years. Mike.
