Many thanks - love to learn Incidentally, it also appears to break wires Tell someone you love them today because life is short. But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

Found the leak......between the manifold and turbo - one nut missing the two others a bit loose... It seems to me that the gasket ( nakatanega) is a bit hard - shouldn't it be compressed a little bit when one tighten the nuts?

The reason I asked earlier as to who fitted the annealed copper gasket was to ascertain whether or not they replaced the manifold studs as well. Once these gaskets have been substituted for the OEM ones I personally would replace the studs and nuts and keep trying to tighten them over a period of a week or so to take into account any heat stretch when new studs/nuts are used. Remember it gets very hot in there and metal expands when hot.
