high oil usage, any ideas?

[Tfsi_Mike]

dead turbo = reason to go hybrid......

Are there many proven maps for the hybrid now, remember jabbalukes thread died off, what was the outcome?
Statlers cars were quick but very highly strung, could be unreliable?

[Janner_Sy]

waiting on the update to Alex's vRS thread tbh.  All the issues with hybrids seemed to be DSG related iirc.

What about the LOBA LO380

Well thats not very reassuring for me then is it! last thing I want to be doing is rebuilding the dsg box
Theres only one place I could find to hybridise the turbo, and that was going to cost £700. I would rather buy a brand new one for £1068 than go down the possible troubles that would come with a 400bhp turbo fitted. no doubt Mikko could sort a map out for it, but I wouldnt want to stress the internals any further

The Revo map is working fine with my hybrid so far.  Fueling is spot on.

High pull back could be from a fooked cam chain tensioner or vvt solenoid.  I've seen damaged wiring to the solenoids cause them to see 12 cf's while just cruising.  The black smoke is a worry. Shows unburnt fuel so why isn't it being fully burnt?  Does the car missfire at all? What plugs are you running and are they all gapped correctly?  Has the cambelt been recently done?

Need to spend some time on the car really to get to the bottom of it.  I would like know why the map only asks for 110 bar fuel pressure?

I did phone to get booked ibto your place alex, but was told it would be a couple of months wait until they ciuld see my car 
Cambelt was done in february. Running NGk plugs from the dealers. It doesn't misfire at all. The pdt map is only a stage 2 file, thats why it only Asks for 110 bar.
I think the smoke could be down to the fact the throttle is closing, hence why the turbo pressure is spiking, if there's no air, fuel isn't being ignited, so black smoke. But why the throttle is closing is another mystery, I think if I can find out why that is happening, I may stand a chance of solving it

[vRSAlex]

Throttle is probably closing due to the boost spike being too high and it reaching a boost limit that should be built into the map.  Could also be why you get such a sudden drop off of boost.

Have you done a log of the throttle angle?

Hi ALex , sorry to jump in , when you say the vvt solenoid goes does it make any noises? like maybe like something lifting then dropping again?
i have high  timing pull and have had this noise for ages.

[heavyd]

I did a log of the throttle angle on the previous page. A mate followed behind me today, and definately says that its more blue than black under load. Could the turbo oil return be blocked?

Tbh I've not listened to one.  Do you get high timing pull even when just cruising around?

If the oil return was blocked then the turbo would be throwing out loads of oil and would be dead by now.  They usually only get semi blocked when the bearings in the turbo break apart and then get stuck.

Have you checked theres no air leaks between the turbo and AFM?

Yes Dave, no leaks, I switched to my spare MAf today to see if it makes any difference.
I decided to take the plunge and book it into the stealers on monday ££££££££££££££££££££'s

[heavyd]

Went to the dealers today, had it booked in, got my courtesy car, half an hour late they phoned me to see they cant touch the car as it has an intake kit fitted
So I went back through, they had indeed done a test drive, as teh mileage had increased, but when speaking to the chief technician, he said it had been modified to they cant do any fault finding on it???
all that was fitted was a forge twintake, milltek TBE, and they also said I had an aftermarket fuel pump on, which was actually a genuine brand new VW part, but they said that no way was it a vw part that was on my car
So went to the next dealers, chief technician had a look at my car, did various checks, and concluded it was the turbo oil seals. So its booked in thursday for a new turbo
Would be interesting to see what caused the problem, as I havent heard of many of these turbos going......

[Saint Steve]

there have been a few not so well published K04 failures on stage 2+ tune in the past, normally go bang though before owners have the option of changing the turbo before any major failure occurs.

be interested to see some photo's of your Turbo once removed, ie condition of both twin scroll's..
