740T Turbo Leak 700

posted by  someone claiming to be paulfin on  Tue Oct 15 20:43 CST 2002 [RELATED]

All,

A bit of advice if you could please. My 88 Turbo appears to be leaking around the joint where the turbo bolts onto the exhaust. Its making a hell of a noise. Boost appears to be ok as it still shifts although it is puffing out a bit of smoke when on full boost. I've tightened the 3 bolts on the turbo as much as I can but it is still leaking. Is there a seal there that may need replaced or something?

Also, the heat shield/bracket down from the turbo that carries the silver foil hose (mounted on the exhaust) is loose and I can't get that tightened either. No great problem but it doesn't half rattle when you boot it!

Your help on either is much appreciated.

Kind regards

Paul. (88 Turbo M46 Trans, 190bhp, (standard uk spec) 186000 miles).
