D4 turbo drain modification
A little tip if fitting the shortened oil drain pipe to the secondary turbo on the 3.0
Make sure that the link cable from the starter solenoid to the motor is not touching the oil pipe. The clearance here is minimal and the link cable is not insulated and even a small gap can allow the starting current to arc to the pipe.
We've just had a car in that the owner had a local garage retro fit the short pipe and this is the result.
To avoid this happening, you can loosen the link cable and just turn it closer to the motor. Also wrapping some insulating tape to the exposed cable helps.Joe
