A4 2.0 TDI Oil Line Removal: BPW Guide

Good evening, forum. I need some help.

How can I detach the oil pipe/oil feed line that's already disconnected from the turbo? It seems to be stuck somewhere in the middle, between the engine and the firewall. I haven't been able to find a relevant post about this.


Thank you very much.

I found the connection in the middle of the line, but I can't disconnect it, no matter which direction I try .

If the cable is loose and is going to be replaced anyway, why don't you just cut it?

Once you have them outside, you might be able to determine, based on their shape, why they got stuck in certain places.

Best regards, Rainer.

Yes, I had thought about that too, but I wanted to figure out how to get the new one in.

"Thank you for the response, anyway. I've just managed to get the cable connected again. I had to pull it out on the driver's side and thread it back in on the passenger's side... it's definitely a very tedious process, as is tightening the brackets and connectors."
On the turbocharger side, I modified an open-end wrench so that you can hold the fitting in place. Because I didn't have it when loosening it, the oil line broke off .
