No idea how would I check that? Assume turbo would have to come out.


Its actually a section in the JLR workshop manual. You disconnect the vane actuator arm from the electric motor unit and then move the vanes through their full range of movements. Jules

If you have stuck Turbo Vanes, then it can burst the rubber Turbo to Intercooler pipes. Trust me, been there. It is not uncommon for people to disconnect the actuator link, just before selling the car, to hide faults. The Vanes jam with Carbon and stop rotating, then burn out the Actuator motor.

Right so before anything else decided to do oil/filter change. For such a stupid design this time I did it quite quickly.
I did try to remove a couple of front plates to see if filter access was any better. THe light grey plastic one comes off easily. Be damned if I could get the larger black plastic one off, for another day. What I did see was that the pipework just past the short piece from the egr has a fair bit of oil on it, as evidenced by the two photos attached.
The pipe work has no slpits or anything else untoward as far as I can see.
Now finally one more question.
Armed with my can of Wynns Turbo cleaner where do I introduce this?

Seems like a good place to put it. What does it say on the can or Wynns website ? Jules

It tells one how to use it ie short burst but not where to introduce it. Point one seemed a fair place as any as is basically straight into the turbo.

My FL2 has a bit of oil at the same location on that intercooler pipe also...weird the clamps are tight and no splits in the hose

I can only assume under heavy boost it weeps a bit

Exactly same. Clamps are solid and no splits in hose not even any evidence of a split about to open.
I have cleaned up the whole area an am keeping a check on it.

Changed oil and filter a few weeks ago and yesterday did same again additionally using a can of Wynns Turbo Cleaner. No error lights after a bit of a thrash and no smoke. What I did notice is shown in the attached photo. Two small rubber hoses both with open ends. Not a clue what these are. Should they be open?
