320D "pushing oil"

[Johanj]

Hi Guys,

Sent my 320D for a service yesterday and on the feedback form with the quote they said the turbo is "pushing oil", there is no white smoke though, I know these service places sometimes just try to "smoke" you (pun intended). There is a bit of black smoke when accelerating but I have done some homework and seems that is pump/injector or EGR related.
My question is: if the turbo is "pushing oil" is it critical to have it sorted out now or is this to be expected from a 180 000km car, do I recon the turbo and what will that set me back?

thanks.

Remove your pipes and intercooler clean up everything. Replace/ clean your oil breather and monitor for more oil. It’s most likely a clogged oil breather or a build up over time, a little oil is normal in a diesel.
