Pipe (oil drain?)
Turbo Mini Forums

I need the L shaped pipe that goes from the bottom of the turbo the the block. Think its an oil drain, mines split! Anyone know waht they are called so i can price one up? Or just got an old one that is recyclable? Can i also ask, do they usally have jubillee clips on them to hold them on? Mine didnt and thats what leaked causing me to take the engine out thinking it was the diff!!!

if your on about the blue silicon pipe avonbar do the original ones are expensive about 20 quid +vat id put jubilee clips on it if i was you ive got them on mine and if comes off it wont take long for it to pump all the oil out of your engine this experiment was carried out at the rollin road day

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Yep, good experiment too! About 30 seconds and 1litre of oil was lost!!!

Maybe be able to get hold of new ones cheap, not original but the same quality.

ok iain! Maybe a cheap oil feed/drain combo!

That makes me feel so much better, ALL the oil in my engien was on sainsburys car park floor (still there now!!!!) so i was, up until 30 seconds ago, still dreading finding a crack of hole in the gearbox or something low down on the engine whne i put it back together. Handy for oil changes tho!

Obviously be able to come to a deal as postage will be less.

Got an old one on me to sort a price tomorrow. Ill let you know asap. Its hard work all this sourcing!! Be worth it in the end i guess!!!

Ps both of mine are jubilee clipped on at both ends.

ok if you have one, add it to the head steady, and email your address to james.fawcett@btinternet.com and ill send the cash. Mine doenst look too bad, so im wondering if it had just popped off rather than split, but id rather not use it!

Iain.. I really need one of those pipes as well. have you got any?

are SAMCO/SPARCO pipes good enough?

i bought such a thing...



the endings belong to be shortened

they should be, i honestly havent got the cash to lay out for an order at the mo as im trying to get my engine built asap.

the ones i get are lined as oil attacks the silicon. as long as its checked yearly id guess it would be fine though.

Which diameter is that pipe? I haven't got the engine here with me you see :)

Try a company called SFS they do lined silicone and all that sort of piping loads cheaper than samco etc

There is one of these hoses that you need on eBay at the moment.

Maybe this will do someone.
