W246 Turbo pipe broken and leaking oil
Discussion
Car: Mercedes B Class 2015 1.5
Mileage: 88,000
Last week I took my car to my Mercedes specialist to get the glow plugs an relay changed and the mechanic wrote an advisory. ‘Turbo pipe broken and leaking oil’ I asked for a quote to fix it and they’ve said £190 which seems pretty reasonable.
Last year in July I had a very big oil puddle on my driveway and engine oil was all over my engine. No engine light or symptoms, after taking it to a different garage at the time they located the source of the oil leak which was coming from the boost pipe. I believe they they said it was a loose seal so they cleaned it up and fixed this.
My question is:
1) Is a boost pipe and turbo pipe the same thing?
2) The advisory says turbo pipe broken, could this just be the seals that are loose?
3) I haven’t experienced any loss of power or any other symptoms from these oil leaks/problems. Is there anything wrong with my turbo or anything else?
Thanks in advance!
