fitting 2nd hand td04 advice
Will hopefully be trying to fit td04 at the weekend.
I'm already worried how I'm supposed to put the bottom clip on the oil return hose.
Obviously from underneath but how to get to it? Long nose pliers or forceps?
I've read that turbo's can go due to other factors but unsure what to look for I.è pcv valve? I don't know what that is. Blocked breathers etc.
Car is on 91k so maybe just wear and tear.
I haven't had the car that long but I suspect the turbo was/has been leaking for a while.couldn't see under turbo heatshield and couldn't see from underneath because of underway.
I'm putting 2 and 2 together because I noticed oil everywhere when I looked through passenger front wheel and thought it was cv boot on engine side.
Gave car to mechanic to do cambelt and cv boot which it wasn't as since seen that these cars don't have inner cv boots.ha ha.
Turbo has been leaking profusely from under the v clamp and the housing exhaust side is discoloured from oil saturation if you know what I mean.
There wasn't smoke from exhaust even when it was at it's worst and boosted fine.
any advice would be for my first turbo install.
Cheers.justin

The clip and pipe is really easy.I leave the pipe and clip stuck to the turbo.Lube the inside of the pipe with oil and mount on to the metal tube.Go under the car and have a look to make sure its on properly.When the turbo and every thing else is fitted unplug the crank sensor and prime the turbo before starting to prevent damage to the turbo
