Have had some serious issues recently with the s2 Avant, dead engine mounts, snapped engine mount bracket, cracked exhaust manifold....
finally replaced all the parts, put everything back together started her up, ran perfectly, well apart from the oil p*ssing out of the top of the turbo!
pulled it all apart again, gasket looked screwed, didnt have anther one, so set about making one from a new inlet manifold gasket from a 16v golf (same thickness and material) put it all back together, tightened it back up, same again, but not as much oil this time!
any suggestions?
is it likely ive broken the oil pipe where it joins the turbo, or should i just try and get a genuine gasket see if that works?
could i have over tightened it? to loose?
