My HDi Turbo (compressor side) is covered in oil

It works well and I know you do get oil 'carry over' here but should I be concerned and have all you other HDi'ers ever checked yours because I'll wager yours is the same

First up I struggled to get a pic from up here..



So I got right down under the drivers wheel arch and shoved the camera up behind the engine to get these rather dodgy pics...





What do you reckon, and have a look at yours with a torch

obviously not an overspill from the sardines shall have a look at mine when it stopped
piss$ng down.. did you get anywhere with your smoke prob welly you thought it was over
fuelling , noticed some on mine yesterday , when doing steady 75/80 was fine but accelerate
up to 100/110 noticed some smoke but soon as i lift accelerator very slightly it stopped and
cruised along cleanly

you've got a KKK turbo welly, these always leak like that, the garret's are far better, as they are also a far better turbo, looks like its comming from the oil pressure inlet at the top, the oil return gasket usually leaks quite badly too, though i cant really be sure from them pics

KKK Turbo that's shite, I wanted a Garret

No wonder it whistles like a Lorry

So, I suppose this is another Peugeot 'Bargain Bucket' parts lottery then??? some have KKK, some have Garret? are they interchangeable easily enough do you know?

Could this explain why some HDi's are a bit faster than others?

I've heard to remove the Turbo which has 4 bolts takes all day, as they is no room to turn.
Then it take another all day job to put the 4 bolts back in.

I think whoever ends up with my car next shall have that to look forward to then

The car still pulls like a train, 100 comes up in no time, I'll leave it alone

Same here, when I got my Crankshaft pulley done, they was a lot of smoke coming from the Turbo area.
Its not been there since, and all feels alright, but still 2 full days labour + cost of Turbo or Gasket is a worry.
Another reason why I want rid of the car for.

Are you still actively tring to sell?

Its in my local Ad Trader for £2,600 Full 12mths MOT etc. I'm in no rush atm to sell it.
I might try 3rd time lucky on Ebay in August.

well welly sweetie tried to have a look managed a grope with my hand
didn't feel anything wet wiil have to wait till camera charged and come
up from underneath

The only fing that leaks on mine is the effin fuel filter... almost 100k chipped to 140bhp engine dont use oil, Just noticed the rear right engine mount is shot stuffed bits of hose in it 'till i get back from holls, big job apparently

changing the HDi turbo is quite a bitch, not like the D8 1.9 TD which can be done in about 3 hours, but dont mention the 2.1 as you have to remove the engine
as for upgrading to a garett you need a exhuast manifold, turbo (obviously) and the oil inlet and outlet pipes and the various gaskets, the garret 'charged 110 are slightly faster once moving as they have an overall better flow rate than the KKK, but the KKK has MUCH less lag but a shity internal wastgate (well the K14 anyway)
dont worry about the whistle its perfectley normal for a diesel turbo too be loud, garett or KKK

I Love my turbo whistle. Flooring it up the dual carriageway today with the windows down and radio off....ahhh pure bliss!

Well my turbo is a KKK too, apparently made by Borg Warner. Just thought I'd let you know.

Its not as oily as Wellys, looks a pig to change though from underneath.
