Well I guess I'm running out of luck with my 2012 4.4 TDV8 Vogue. At 170 000Km it seems my turbo(s?) are leaking oil.

Seems like they have plenty of good reviews on google, the only concern if you are not in the UK is the 21-day core exchange https://www.google.com/search?client=firef...n+Limited# 2007 TDV8 VSE

If you are replacing the turbos get them to replace the turbo oil feed pipes at the same time they can get blocked up limiting or stopping oil feed to the turbos causing premature wear.

It would be standard procedure during a turbo replacement to make sure all oil and water feed and drain lines are clear. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

You might want to do a bit more investigating first.

I'm still negociating the work to be done and the turbo prices (refurb or new) ... I'm thinking no earlier than mid february.

So let me get this clear - you are taking the engine out and changing the turbo's due to a bit of oil in the intake pipes? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |
