DW10TD Oil Leak

Post by Turbo7379 »

I have an oil leak on the engine of my 406 HDI 90, DW10TD engine (what's new :) ). It is coming from the joint where the oil return pipe from the turbo enters the block.

There is a rubber hose attached to an alloy spigot that is pressed into the block, just above the sump. I thought it was the joint between the hose & the spigot so fitted a strong hose clip, tightened it well but it still leaked. :roll:

I took the hose off today and discovered that the spigot is slightly loose in the block! I can turn the spigot round with grips but it wont come out. If I can get it out I can refit it with jb weld or similiar.

Has anyone seen this before? Any idea how I can remove or seal the spigot? I could try & seal around it but there is virtually no room between the back of the spigot & the block plus access is limited with the engine in place.

Cheers, T

That's not very good :frown: I had a look on Service Box but I can't find that bit available separately (presumably they'd like you to buy a new block). Nothing in the repair manual either (plus de change). I also had a google but the only thing I found that looked promising was a .pdf on the C4 owner's club "C4 Oil leaks trace and repair DW10 Engine", sign in to download (another day, another registration :roll: ), and finally it's only available to "premium members", i.e. pay us or f#ck off :evil:

I'm not sure what to suggest, any chance of a pic?
