Author Topic: WTB Turbo oil return line (Read 4914 times)

I need a good oil return line. As mine is damaged and leaking. I checked out dieselvw.com but they are out of stock and not answering the phone till Oct. 22.

Anyone have a good spare one?

Seems my fall back idea of making a hose isn't going to happen. So I do need one.

What turbo is it for?

It's for a 1.6L TD from a 86 Jetta.

you should be able to get a hydraulic shop fix the leaking hose. it wouldn't need to be done to the high psi requirement of hydraulics, but should work if they re-crimp a hose... pretty hard to compete with prothe's prices though!!

there's only 2 flavors for turbo's for that year! and 1 style oil return for both!

unless it's a K14?
if you find a new one can i have dibs on your old one? i'd like to see if i can repair a old leaky one!
thanks Duane

if you take it off and cut the old steel braided part off and put a oil compatible rubber hose with hose clamps it will work for you!
if thats where it's leaking from?
