I've been busy fitting a new clutch to the car (new pivot arm bushes and input shaft seal) and the pain-in-the-arse clutch cable. What the f*ck were Peugeot thinking of with that?
Anyway, with the shafts out I thought I'd have a look at the oily bits of the turbo. There are 2 parts that are grimmy, the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe. I've managed to remove the short rubber pipe on the outlet, but how do you remove the metal pipe on the inlet? I've removed the 10mm head bolts from each end of the metal pipe but it still won't move and I can't see any other securing points.
Anyone ideas why it leaks at these points? Or is it a case of oily snot from the breathers into the inlet track and simply blowing out of un-tight joints? This may make sense as it tends to whistle quite loudly sometimes! The short rubber pipe from the bottom of the turbo looks OK, as do the jubilee clips that secure it, but is it worthwhile replacing the rubber joint on the inlet side of the turbo in the photo below? (If I can get the metal pipe off!).
