Hi
I have a a 2001 Isuzu Wizard 3.0L, dohc 4JX1 turbo diesel, UES73SW4. Some time back the turbocharger gave up. I purchased a new Chinese turbo and had it installed. This gave up in less than a week. The mechanic says the turbo oil intake is at fault and I should get a new oil pump installed or a new engine!
After thinking about it for some time I decided to check it myself. I unscrewed the turbo oil intake and started the engine momentarily. Oil gushed out within a second. Then I noticed that the bolt used to attach the oil intake line was a normal solid bolt. Is that the problem? Shouldn't this bolt have a hole to allow oil to pass through (it is called a banjo bolt, I found out)?
My question is - Is the oil intake line secured to the turbo by a banjo bolt?
If so, are banjo bolts generic or do I need to find the specific one for my engine / turbo?
Thank you in advance, all help appreciated.
With regards
