ollie ryan Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 right i have oil in my intercooler pipes, does this mean oil seals? and also the wastegate seems to stick, it move then clicks and will move abit further should it just freely move?also i have a HKS actuator and i cant adjust it as when i try and turn the pin part the whole shaft that goes into the actuator itself turns, is it ment to do that?any help would be great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep91steve Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Am sure oil in pipes is the seal mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ep91steve Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Sounds like it hopefully some one else can confirm this for sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1987glanza Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 oil in pipes is not necessarily your seals or a bad thing most turbo'd cars nower days do pass some oil (very little)how much oil we talking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 not massive amounts but theres defiantly oil there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1987glanza Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 not massive amounts but theres defiantly oil therei wouldnt worrie to much,as long as it dont smoke or does it. if there were a fair bit of oil then yeah i would say seals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 the car is smoky but its not oil, and there is oil on the outside of the turbo housing itselfto run 1bar i had to winde the actuator really far Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1987glanza Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 personialy i wouldnt worrie about it but thats jus me.when say your wastegate sticks, (mine did this)is it when the actuator is disconnected if it is jus check make sure yor wastegate flap hasnt droped causing it to catch the housing,if it has dropped it an easy fix using a screw driver and a spacer (copper washer) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 hmm yeah i will have a look at it properly but im sick of it nowwant something reliable so probably getting a civic and breaking this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
