ep91steve Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Well everything was going well with putting new turbo kit on rad etc... Started car oil pishing out the banjo bolt on the oil return pipe, so tried tighten it up more.. But it's not going tight enough if anything it's going slacker then a wee bit tight then slacker and so onAny ideas Quote
Ryan-11 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 did u put copper washers on the banjo bolt? u need them to seal it up properly, also sounds like u over tightened the bolt Quote
micky boy Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Is it the bolt that go's into the oil filter houseing big 19mm i think? orr the ones that go to the turbo? Edit..Ryan beat me to it thats what i was going to sugest Quote
Maz90 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 It will be stripped as its only alloy,Same happened to me,try some thread tape and take it easy when putting it in.I ended up getting 2nd hand one from idrees.Local engineering place might helicoil it tho for about 20quid Quote
ryan lang Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 try the copper washers dude, if not youve nakered the threadcommon problem that i have with my humungous guns :/ Quote
ep91steve Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 Copper washers were in placeWere would you get thread tape? And would part co sell an 19mm banjo bolt Quote
Maz90 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Copper washers were in placeWere would you get thread tape? And would part co sell an 19mm banjo boltHalfords do it am sure.Dont think it will be the bolt,it will be the hole thats threaded.If not i have a bolt here. Quote
ep91steve Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 A think it will be housing. A could take the housing off my gt?? A would take the bolt off you but a kind off need it for the mozz thanks tho mate Quote

Maz90 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Yeah will be the housing.Quite easy,but you have to drop the powering steering bracket down to get it right off. Quote
micky boy Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I would of thought the banjo bolt would be ok? it should be alot tuffer then the houseing..I cant see it been to hard to change i would also replace the paper gasket aswell.. Quote
