Thanks. I take this will be accessed from under the car having removed the sump guards ? |

Both sides blocked simultaneously? Do the 2 pipes going into the rear muffler join inside the muffler? |

Don't need the guards off. But they are awkward to access. They will be tight |

Both sides won't block simultaneously, usually the LH seizes. It doesn't turn, which then chokes the 4 LH cylinders, and pressurises the crankcase. This then finds its way out the crankcase breather and is drawn into the RH turbo/intake ![]() |

Just out to investigate down pipes & turbos. Now here’s the crunch point. If turbo(s) need replacing is this BODY OFF/ENGINE REMOVAL as I’ve been lead to believe ??? |

You can raise the car with suitable diagnostics without the engine running
