Il perhaps go see my mechanic during the week, How ever I guess untill its stripped your not going to know where its burning from  !? so that could mean whipping the head of or the turbo for no reason costing labour £££

The car has an emmisions code but im fairly thats becasue of the de-cat messing with the lambda sensors! but pulls and drives as strong as it should do.

I had a quick look and seals are around the £30 mark for a pack of 20. but obviously its going to be the labour thats going to cost for this repair!

Toby when I had my turbo off last week I noticed a few hair line cracks on the inside near the wastegate was yours similiar place? mine also bloody stinks

how much did the ko4 set you back and where did you pick it up from?

cheers guys still dont know what to do haha

Get it looked at by a VW specialist they may spot something you haven't, it does sound like stem seals however they are NOT common to wear on 1.8T's 

My guess is the turbo 

[Toby]

i had simular thing to you, turned out to be my ko3s! i had a crack, on the exhaust housing, and the bearing's went and i was burning oil, it stunk to high heaven!

iv cince replace'd it for a ko4-022 and its fine!

something to look in to!

what figures did you get in the end matey?ive got the valence on.

pic's? what does it fit like? nick made 277bhp and 270 lbft but fuel pump died, so new one orderd, he recon's 290!
