My 01 jetta TDI has 285000 kms ,changed oil every 14000 km <castrol syntec 5W40 ,, last oil change at 275000 km since then i noticed that it has started using oil over 2 Litres and seems like its is burning it:confused: ,, i have noticed oil leaking from the air intake lines ... any ideas thanks I replaced the turbo at 75000 km wastegate problem (warrenty) other then that no other problems ....

sounds like turbo again. oil burning is related to same turbo problem. you can take off the turbo intake tube and check the shaft play and oil.

Thanks and Yes, lots of oil in air tubes past turbo ,smokes most when pulling away ...
Ok ,i have lost all boost in Turbo ,was wondering if Vanes are completely sooted up and stuck ,tried moving Actuator rod but its stuck and also could this cause my Seals in my turbo to stop sealing so to speak? and oil be going out exhaust and or intake side of turbo..or do i just replace this problem ..? thankls :confused:
