2003 9-5 with 2.3T.
Just replaced a turbo that had a bearing/shaft failure and dumped a bunch of oil.
Filled the new turbo oil inlet and spun by hand, connected everything up except for the return to the sump, pulled the ignition/fuel pump fuses, and cranked it over and over while watching for oil to drip down. Perhaps a cumulative 3 minutes of cranking. No oil came out the return flange.
So I pulled the oil supply line (from above the filter, to the turbo inlet) and it's still bone dry after all of this cranking.
Cranked again for another 30 or so seconds with the line removed, and no oil is coming out of the female fitting directly above the filter. No flow?
Any thoughts on what may be causing this or next steps to diagnose the root cause?
