Hi guys!
I'm new here and my english sucks (please don't laugh

)
so... i just bought st165 and i found oil in my intercooller. is that normal?
and what problems does st165 usually have (BHG or something else?)
What i have to do to prevent them?
And where on the internet can i find owner/repair manuals?

Thanks
Tomislav!

turbo oil seals have worn out. you gotta get the turbo rebuilt

congrats on the new addition.
finding oil in the turbo/intercooler/intake is normal if there is blue smoke coming out the exhaust, on and off boost then chances are the tubo seals are blown and you would need a rebuild, diagnos the problem first though if there is one.

you could just have your pcv valve clogged... try getting a catch can before doing any of that costly turbo work.

Wrong.
A little bit of oil is not unusual. Massive amounts = bad.
A catch can will help eliminate that.
