Hi all
So the time came for me to do my first oil change of ownership on the A4,but while waiting for the black stuff to drain I decided to explore some pipes and vacuums.
First pipe to come off was the lower intercooler pipe,but was surprised to see the amount of oil to come out the pipe,about a cup full or so, is this a sign of the turbo on its way out or can it just be a build up from its 5yrs and 68k worth of use?
The car is a 2007 Audi a4 1.9 tdi pd engine.
Thanx in advance
Nigel

The PD engines can breathe a bit, my Golf does similar, I clean it all out each time I service it. it could be turbot problems but it still goes and does decent mpg so until it starts sending clouds out the back or I get a sooty rear end I am just monitoring the situation from afar.
