Sorry,I haven't been able to reply sooner-I got sent to the badlands of the Western isles(Stornoway to be precise) to do cover work.

The charger has been sent back for a reworking and hopefully will be back middle of next week.The internals of the charger are in very good condition but there may be some doubt over the shaft-a small groove has been worn in it but it should be okay and within tolerances.

Gonna replace the oil return pipe to as a precaution,as the original may have worn out and is restriciting oil flow asper the advice given.

Will let you know when I get it back and running whether it's cured.

Have just got my charger back from having the seals checked and refitted.

Took the pipes off this morning to give them a clean out and about a litre of oil spilled out of the charger outlet to I/C pipe,all over the garage floor. :shock: :x

Had to give the intercooler a clean out to after that,as it had a dribble of oil in there too.

Haven't got round to refitting the charger yet,so hopefully it's gonna be okay this time.

 

BIG thanks to John at JMR (16vG60) for all the help and advice over this. :thumbleft:
