Here is one option for keeping them tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have taken some sequential pics!I was getting some hissing from near the turbo and some funny pedal response at light to medium load. The rear two turbo to manifold studs were almost falling out! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be something everyone needs to do pretty often so if the next person to do it wouldn’t mind putting up some description and pics or even a video of the process would be great.

joffa1 Member 143 Member For: 6y 9m 7d Posted 05/03/18 04:37 AM Author Share Posted 05/03/18 04:37 AM Alright so I had another go after purchasing some 14mm spanners and socket joints etc. someone has damaged the f$&k out of the four turbo to manifold nuts so I can’t actually move them either way, but to be honest they seem pretty damn tight and not loose enough to be causing this leak and god awful noise. Officially at a loss as to where the leak is now ? http://s345.photobucket.com/user/Soindrift69/media/4B87211E-C4DF-4323-BFE5-D0C66072DECD_zpsofoflpq9.jpeg.html?filters[user]=147109463&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
