personally first thing id be doing is checking all the boost hoses for splits and vacuum pipes. theres a couple of common problems on these, but cant be 100% sure as to exactly what they are. someone on here will be able to tell you.
use the search button aswell, chances are the topics come up before

and welcome to the forum

also itd be worth getting the fault code read

As above get it plugged it to see if any faults come up, and def check boost hoses.

Thank you for replys i forgot to mention i had it plugged in with vagcom? I dno if thats the same as a diagnostic machine? Only thing that came up on that was coolent temp the sensor thats on top of the pipe on side of engine also will boost splits and vacume splits cause the car to use more fuel? Thanks

coolant temp sensor fault will make it throw fuel in for fun as it doesn't know what temp the engine is running at

my gess is on fuel temp sensor or air flow meter. whats your engine code mate?

[Pritchard-12]

Sorry to sound dumb but were do i find the engine code? As far as ino its a AGU engine if thats what your after?

As others have said, get it scanned for fault codes anyone near you with vagcom can do this, it wont be definitive but itll give yu an idea, if its drinking fuel as Wazzer said temp sensor, also the lambda sensors can cause overfueling.
checkin for boost leaks is easy, boost leaks leak oil so look for any pipes with oil over them, most common ones are at the back of the intercooler and where the N249 and N112 valves are.
Where abouts are you as I am sure someone near could have a quick look if you're unsure

Ok thanks ill check for oiley pipes tomorrow and ill order a new temp sensor to sort the fuel drinking problem out. Ive had it plugged into vagcom and only
The temp sensor came up
