GS Turbo Oil Leak

[hammerhead2]

Hi. I just had my turbo checked. Casa wants to replace which will cost 110k. Pitstop can replace with half price but surplus. Goldstar says it is just an oil leak and will repair for 35k. Need advice on where else I can have it checked. Brought it to Central Diesel but they seem to not be interested saying it is hard to diagnose. Tia.

How old is your rig sir? Any info on how you use your car? When did this happen sir?

2009. Warranty voided kasi itinawid ko sa baha during ondoy. Pero 2 mos ago lang humina ang hatak. It still goes up to 160 kph pero not as quickly. Usual city driving and twice to baguio and once to bicol since i bought it.

Although different car yung ranger ng bayaw ko, nag-leak din turbo nun pero nilinis lang ng mekaniko. Tinanggal yung pipe from the air cleaner and then binuksan yung sa may pipe from turbo going to the intercooler and then pinaandar yung makina. Rev to the point na gagana yung turbo and then nilalagyan ng diesel yung opening ng turbo (from the air cleaner) at ibubuga yun sa outlet going to the intercooler. Ok na siya. Hinigpitan din nga pala yung mga tubes and pipes conection just to be sure. I hope thsi helps.

could be a simple o-ring leak only or a leaking boost hose....can be DIYed but you have to make matching marks so as not to disturb the balance...the turbo is sometimes a b!**# to get esp. on the turbine side....mine is mitsu TD04 air cooled....
