Anybody know anything about Rangers. Can't find anything on tinternet!!! Got oil seeping on to the top of the intercooler and oil on the pipe going to the air filter? is this back filtering from the turbo if so is the turbo worn or need replacing?

 

Many thanks for the replies??

If it's what I think it is it's caused by the air from the breather pipe from the top of the rocker box being recirculated into the air inlet (cant remember the exact name of it) and the best thing to do is bypass it, iirc a blanking plate on one end and run a new length of breather pipe down to the side of the chassis in the engine bay.

It will increase performance and mpg very slightly

On the ranger it's not so much the high mileage that causes the pipe lining it's a crap design (something to do with EU emmision rubbish) even with low mileage one's, but obviously it will make it worse with higher miles.

Was a fair while back when it was done but I had my pump timing advanced slightly which increased HP and fuel economy again, although that job was done by the local ford garage as a freebee :)

TBH with that mileage I would think it would need new injectors if it hasn't already, I would get them tested before messing with the pump.
