I'm trying to get car sorted first before I can sell it though Ben! Had a new turbo fitted at dealers last week, on a stock map it still pulls 5.3 cf timing, with an overboost making 2230bar of boost! Stage 2 overboosts at 3020mb! So going to try and sort boost issues out before I try to sort out the timing.
Good luck getting yours sorted Chris!


New turbo?  :surprised: Whaat happened? How much did that set you back?

£1370. Car kept chucking out big plumes of blue smoke, using half a litre of oil a fortnight. Tailgate and bumper totally covered in black dots after 10 mile trip, all on stock map. Made 290 bhp with stage 3 map that previously made 350bhp etc etc

Yep, it's cost some money so far, another little twist is that the blue smoke is back, I've checked the oil and that's gone down aswell, so looks like I didn't need a turbo after all :fighting:
Its going Back into stealers on Monday, might give up on these tfsi engines and get a diseasel scirocco, they've got a nice one sitting on the forecourt  :laugh:

This is why I mentioned to ask the dealers 'that question'.

Good luck with it Dom.

I did ask the question, so I'm in for a battle :fighting:
Its definetly going the journey once fixed! I'm going to get in touch with VW customer services aswell about it, as the dealer diagnosed the fault then relieved me of £1370, and that clearly wasnt the fault
Going to strip parts off this weekend weather permitting.
Whats the cost of setiing the Revo DSG to stock Dave?

I did ask about the valve stem oil seals, and they said that if it was losing the oil it was, theres no way it could be those. and I had the leakdown test done by Dave at PDT and the piston rings were ok.
See what happens on monday then :popcornsoda:

Will a leak down test show whether the valve guides and rubber seals ok?

Granted rings will, but not sure whether the valve stem seals would ?

If the oils not being lost via the turbo, the only other way it's going out the back is rings or valve guides surely?

Compression test or leakdown test wont diagnose guides or stem seals as they measure compression in the cylinder when the valves are closed.

Dom, DSG reflash is FOC  :happy2:
