what is the hole for?

Recommended Posts

Morning all. I recently removed the charger from my 92 G60 and the bracket next to the oil cooler and found a hole (port) but have no idea what it is for. Does anyone know what it does and more importantly does it require a gasket when the bracket is re fitted? Cheers stew.

I don't remember what the hole was for though, it's been donkeys since i layed hands on a PG..

Yeah there should be an O-ring behind the bracket.

 

I think the same block is used on other VW's, where it has some sort of pipe attached there.

 

There are some pictures of it in the link bellow, if you need one let me know. As they are obsolete from the dealers, so I had to buy like a pack of 10 from eBay. So got plenty as spares.

Cheers for the replies. I'm guessing the o ring that was there must have perished. I will take you up on that offer please. Pm me with price.

Just PM me your address and I'll get one out in the post for you. Happy to help out a fellow enthusiast.

 

Mine was leaking oil, and I thought it was the oil return pipe. When I started taking apart I found that behind the bracket it must have been repaired before with silicone.

 

So cleaned it all up, and fitted a new o-ring on the bracket. And it's been all good ever since.
