Get a oil catch canGblades wrote:Good day I have a 2008 sportage diesel. I’m having an issue with the oil trap on the intake hose from the tappet pan letting oil into the turbo and well engine. Did anyone ever had this issue before ? Also I converted my turbo on my sportage to a slightly bigger yd turbo.

Yeah I went up to the Bamboo today for a part for another vehicle and I found the motor and linkages for $800, so I'll look for the axle as well. What are your thoughts on the turbo though??

Whats wrong with your axle? I would say take the turbo done and get the seals replaced. Buddy did it by turbo lab last week, cost him 1100tt. It was a Ranger turbo, i wonder why the kia turbo is more expensive, the 2200 is to replace the seals alone right?

The suspension tech said it has a slight bend or something..I need another diagnosis though. Always something to frustrate you when you're trying to sell a vehicle . As for the turbo, I spoke with Junior as well. The $1,100 is for best case scenario and the $2,200 is worst case scenario I believe. I was just trying to reduce downtime since it's a 4 day time frame; to remove and reinstall the turbo (2 days), drop it for Junior to do his thing (2 days). My shift is weird and my wife needs the other vehicle so I would have preferred plug and play but of course that comes at a cost.

Its the front CV axle right? difficult to see how it got bend. The repair price for the turbo is really good. The price of these vehicle dropped so badly its Unbelievable. I might just keep mines the lost is too much...and parts prices are pretty cheap so will hang on to mines.

Yeah, Trinidadians and 'resale value'. imagine people offering B14 money for an SUV. I used a Wynn's Injector Cleaner in the tank the other day and even with wifey doing short runs, right now the needle is between the 1/2 and 1/4 tank mark and we've made over 400 kms thus far, from full to the brim, which isn't bad for a 12-13 year old vehicle with A/C always on and city mileage as opposed to highway.
As for the axle, I really do need a second opinion on that and I might just rent a car for the few days the vehicle is down while the turbo is being serviced.
Also, is there some WhatsApp group or club or something for these Korean vehicles? More than one place to share expertise, ask questions and recommend parts places/mechanics/etc. in real-time is always a good idea, imho.
