spanner head is prob the name of the numpty who f@cked it up whilst doin the brake pipe!! lol, check every pipe from throttle housing back to air box, the slightest crack/split will cause idling probs etc, sort that then youll have to see why its sucking oil into the air box, does sound like its been over filled or the pressure relief valve is stuck open??

im sure theres a ball spring type valve from the crankcase breather, follow the oily pipe from the air box  (the one which goes in the middle of fan belt) thats your breather hose, folow it and it goes to a metal casting , im sure theres some kinda valve in there, id clean all the breather pipes whilst your at it...

the braided pipes on the air box are your fuel lines to your injectors (1-4 and then cold start injector)

you shouldnt need to remove these or touch them, just unclip the top of airbox and then remove other pipes (air pipes not braided ones) and check for splits, if your getting a strong smell of petrol possible one of the fuel lines fractured when the numpty took all the airbox etc out..... sometimes it dosnt pay to let any one feck around with your vw unless they know what there doing!!

i still think you have a plastic/rubber pipe split somewhere, i cant offer anymore help with out being there m8!!

Person i brought mine from filled it up to much.... Had the same problem with oil in the airbox, and tubing, plus up in the inlet manifold. Oil pressure light used to come on, engine used to accerate uneven, like it was cutting out.. really weird.. Anyways, i did an oil flush, and put new oil in to correct level, and cleaned the air filter, tubing, throttle body and inlet manifold as best i could.

It was fine then!
