This needs a series called the 5 possible sources of oil leaks that can get your alternator wet lol

Looks good! Having more than one Sprinter means buying more than one of all of these things!

A few of us need to 'big-box store' like Sam's Club for Sprinter parts. When ONE turbo resonator isn't enough...

Thanks I’m going to change this and hopefully it fixes my mysterious oil leak!

My trick to put a tiny magnet inside the socket to prevent the bolt from dropping.

A couple short "wobble" extensions may work better without as much flopping as much as U-joints

Thanks for sharing.

Nice one

Putting some electrical tape around your swivel will hold it straight long enough to get it in place and pop free once you apply torque.

Using 1/4” drive helps with room. You had shown me the part number I needed when mine was leaking. My dip stick tube weeps oil also. I need to change the O ring on it as well.

Torque specs the same for both bolts? Or does "gutentight" mean just snug it down by feel? :P

By feel. Tighten it down so it doesn't loosen itself. The torque spec is not critical on these since there is no force applied to them during operation.

I need to do this asap! I was wondering if there was any worry about oil leaking out or running the turbo dry if the supply line wasn't filled, but I guess the shape indicates it will be mostly oil free starting cold. I also plan to do the other seals minus the exhaust, I hope there are no other quirks I need to know. Thanks for your videos!

The engine at idle will fill the oil supply line before you get on the road and spin that turbo with any force. Keep in mind our turbos are VGT, Variable Geometry Technology so the air is directed around the impeller, not through it when no boost is needed. Therefore the turbo is not asked or forced to spin if it does not spin freely.

Hey why did you hide the part number on the Oring bag?

5080135AA Your view must be different from mine. I read it from the video.

Where would be a good place to find this part? I’ve been calling around the auto parts stores and no one has it locally

This kit has the O-ring and copper seals I should* have replaced. It also has other parts you might want to install now or save them for later. www.millionmilesprinter.com/product-page/om647-turbo-seal-kit
