Issue with chargepipe?

yipronny · 03-26-2017, 04:18 PM

Hi,

I just checked my engine bay today after washing my car. I noticed there was some oil residue built up around my chargepipe, does anyone if theres something wrong or a leak in the picture posted. My car has the N55 engine with 50k miles.

Thanks!

From your belt, change it. Or actually just grime and road rubber lol

Try cleaning it off and monitor it for the next couple weeks.

In any case your chargepipe will eventually fail which is NOT covered by CPO(Ask me how I know). Look into a good aftermarket CP which is less expensive and better quality than the OEM CP. I went with Active Autowerke which is a perfect fit and highly recommended.
