oh....thanks. Like I said in the original post, I don't think thats an issue. Its been started twice with intake air hose off. Now admittedly at that stage I didnt take any attention to smoke coming from the rear of the car but am sure if there were clouds I would have noticed. I just went and...

Sorry the GP? Excuse my ignorance

Thanks for that. Sounds like a plan once I work out how to do that, flush?? the intercooler and find out how to do that, etc. But yes, a definite starting point. I am buoyed by this post https://forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/blown-turbo-engine-full-of-oil.9432/ where the poster had a...

Hi from New Zealand. Are you still around here? Was wanting to ask you some questions about what happened when you blew your turbo

Grrrrrr. My 17 year old son took my 07 GT TDi BMM and thrashed the arse off it [after he just blew up the last car i purchased for him]. I'll cut to the chase. Took me a while to diagnose the issue only because I was chasing an electrical fault, but no....the little ^%&* had snapped the turbo...

OK thanks jesus_man and Nuje . I will start looking harder! Gives me hope its not a total lemon

I have to agree. I have unfortunately just purchased a 2008 MKV Golf with DPF and EGR delete. I have to agree with you. Mine is rancid. The smell is impregnated in everything and is unbearable after 2-3 hours driving. Im gutted. I smelt it as soon as I got in the car when I brought it off the...
