I bought a mk5 golf 2.0tdi 170 about 6 months ago. I have getting a bad Fumey smell from the car since i bought it. I've taken it to several garages and they all can't decide what the problem is.
I've had a new dpf pipe as the old one was leaking,
Also a new inlet manifold gasket and actuator, a new EGR and a new turbo, full service with cambelt, new intercooler. I also replaced the rocker cover gasket as that was leaking.
I do have oil residue from the boost pipes, but I will be replacing these too.
I've scanned the car and there are no error codes.
I've also had the head pressure tested and it's all fine.
The smell is coming from the engine bay and it so bad i can smell it inside the car when stationary.
The car drives fine and i get good mpg.
Im really stuck with what the problem might be, so any help would be much appreciated!
