True... you MUST make sure the return line from the turbo charger empties
into the oil pan and not the block like most later engines do... it has to
be all 'downhill' after the turbo charger - worse yet, if it isn't all down
hill a dead turbo charger is coming very soon!

Hi all!
I own a 1982 N/A diesel vanagon that was converted to 1.6l TD.
It runs and starts very good and even tough the compression is very good
(475,475,475,450) it burns quite a lot of oil. About 1 quart every 150 miles
in the worse.
I know bad oil rings may be the cause but i have been told that due to the
incline of the engine in the vanagon, some kind of oil bypass tube used by
the turbo should be modified. If it is not, some oil might just go back to
the turbo and be burnt by the engine.
I suspect this modification was not done.
Some of you know about this?


Thanks in advance!
