Hi All
Just noticed my 914 starting to use a little bit more oil than usual
I only use mo gas 98 and change oil every 50 hours and filter every 100
The engine has 1000hrs on it, still runs like a clock

    Hi Greg

    How much oil are you talking about?

    Cheers Mark

    Remove the oil return line from the sump to the turbo and flush it out. If its clogged it will use oil like this. Also remove the oil control plug and ball and clean those. That should take care of your problem provided it isn't something more serious, but this should work.

    See parts manual page 24-4 with a picture of the turbo. Clean parts 51 and 49 along with the oil line.
