Hmmm, if my pipe was lifted off the wing it would just add to the angle of the bend. Unless, the clamp pulled the pipe back and so opened the angle.If you look at picture 1 on post 1270 you can just make out the clamp. It effectively lifts the pipes up which may help with clearances?
Ah, yes the pipes are clamped together. I thought yours were clamped to the wing!Here
are you sure you have the pipe fitted to the cooler at the correct endYours doesn't look like it's pressing against the wing!
Aye, they look the same. But not as tight as mine? What do you mean one hot and one cooler?
Yeah, the ends to the cooler have much longer metal pipes. Appreciate the idea though, had me thinking for a second or twoare you sure you have the pipe fitted to the cooler at the correct end
Bloody English language! I fitted them the same way as the old ones came off, but I'll go and check.Sorry about the clamp description, was just working from memory Think what JM may be meaning is are the pipes fitted to the cooler the correct way round (the one with the 90 degree metal pipe going to the top rad connection and the straight one to the bottom)?
This is the pipe arrangement in to the filter housingJust looked at my receipt from Dec 2015 and I had PBP101130 for the upper and PBP500200R for the lower. Suspect the upper has been superceded by the number JM previously posted.
Filter area is the same as mine, looking at the other picture it looks like the pipes are the right way around at the radiator as the one with the longer straight bit is the top one. Must just be down to a different length pipe? Do you still have the old ones, could try measuring them with a bit of string to see if there is a difference.This is the pipe arrangement in to the filter housing

Pretty sure they are the right way around.
This is the clamp

Well looks like you have spotted a difference that could cause it. If you zoom in on picture 2 of my previous post it looks like mine has a similar length (or possibility a little bit shorter) to your new one.This is the old pipe.

If you compare with the new pipe above, the new one has about 2.5" more straight pipe between the nut and the fitting on the end of the rubber pipe, compared to this old one. This extra solid pipe is pushing the hose up against the inner wing.
Obviously, that's not what I'm wanting to hear. It looks like a lot to meDoesn't look too excessive to me - certainly wont give you the oil consumption you have.
I've been googling and the replacement CHRA's come already balanced. Just watched this video and it looks fairly straightforward. (warning the music is a bit repetative)A new cartridge will have new seals, the seals that "go" are the control seals that keep the oil in the compressor/turbine shaft bearing. As far as I know taking a cartridge apart will then require the turbo being re-balanced, so best left to a remanufacturer.
You can tell I'm trying to avoid that! I'll have a look on Youtube for it. Was he burning oil? I haven't had the Landy back on the road long enough to do a volume of oil/mileage comparison yet, but going by the smoke the other day it must be the same or similar.Saw a clueless bloke have good fortune with a cordless drill and hone on youtube a while back if you do decide to have the head off in the end

Was he burning oil?
Mine's only done 10K though!Well, it's less than the mostly over 200k mile turbos I have exposure to haha
Mine's only done 10K though!
Your probably right. However, (clutching at straws) the oil is just blowing through and getting burned, so not much settling in the pipe at any one time!Well, another way of looking at it is only that much has collected after 10k,
the inside of the pipe would be lagged with oil if it were serious, plus silicone hoses do tend to swell with severe oil exposure (which yours has not)
I've asked before. I think it's tricky to know how much is passing through, as I said above, it's possibly going through as a mist and getting burned. (Hopefully)Someone who knows what the passings of a newish turbo should look like will be along sometime soon at any rate
