Its passenger side bottom of front end , in front of front wheel you need to take the bumper off to get to it

Hey guys if you see second comment from OP she states pistons had to be replaced , if garage are cowboys and used new pistons rings and did not hone the bore this is a classic example of the symptoms the op is stating (sluggish driving due to lack of compression , oil getting past control/ compression rings) also if any scoring to bore , another good point is if the cylinder head was skimmed to accommodate new head gasket , a bent valve would also potentially damage a valve stem seal , & a valve stem seal in my personal opinion would only smoke on startup like my mothers Kia ceed diesel currently does.

You cannot squeeze a 35 mm cable through an existing cable run, Cars that have this set up will have a dedicated hole and grommet for a cable of that size.
I agree I would be running battery externally under the car in the exhaust/ transmission tunnel

OK thank you for your advice, I'll see if I can find a garage to check the timing 👌 do you know what the cost for this check would be?
Catherine I myself am in Manchester and my mother had the 1.2L HTP engine and the same thing happened to her , if you would like some help feel free to DM me , garage wise I would be taking it to Ashton autoworx in lees oldham

A cause of smoking after a belt snap / slip can be fitting new oil control rings / pistons rings into an old bore without honing the bore also if the pistons did slap the valves then it can scrape the bores causing ways for oil to get into the combustion chamber , it would of been cheaper to drop a second hand 1.2L engine into your car than to pay for a rebuild sounds like they have ripped you off and I would be making a warranty complaint

A good thing to do would be to get a oil catch can fitted then you can see how much your crankcase is getting pressurised etc and how much your pcv valve is sending oil into the intake manifold

'Fairness' had nothing to do with anything. @thomasaspin Your engine was an oil user.
What was crazy was that the CAVE was discontinued and the revised CTHE came in and still there were brand new oil users and they got the Breather Mod and Oil Spray Jet upgrades.
For some it worked and some still ended up getting a replacement engine in a CTHE.
.................
This was a New CTHE that had this work done.
We all know it’s the Kolbenschimt uprated pistons and rings that sorted out the oil consumption issues that the cthe engine comes with as standard

No argument from me here , just asking how an engine can burn oil if oil is not getting passed the compression rings & oil control ring ?

Does the CTHE have the CAVD oil jets that were remedied on the CAVE oil burners as the spray pattern was excessive? The main fix as discussed many times was the oil jets off a CAVD VW Scirocco. Breather pipe only didn't work.
In fairness though an oil jet should have no bearing on oil consumption if the oil control rings and compression rings are doing there job correctly and the bores have the correct cross hatching on them

Hi in regards to the spark plugs I did like how the denso spark plugs behaved in my engine , but longevity wise the NGK BKR7EI last longer the spark plug you listed I would not run. As for using oil that’s a lot of oil consumption are you sure it’s a CTHE engine ? Any smoke while driving ? Maybe it’s a turbo oil seal or something as apposed to a oil drinker

Where are you based happy to take a look , what fault codes come up when scanned

What’s up with your gearbox ?

Injectors usually fail on the 1.6 tdi , can only really be fuel pump or injector related for me ,
what fault codes come up ?
-
I would bore scope it first before doing anything rash , I do find it hard to believe nothing has been with the injectors if you dropped / burnt out some valves , it’s pretty obvious your running too lean and burning up cylinders to me personally but that’s just my opinion ,
-
Would suggest head gasket if low compression across two cylinders that are next to each other , also check for engine being out of time, wonder if engine builder took into account piston to valve clearance and compression ratio alterations when rebuilding if the head has been skimmed

I hope I haven’t bought one of those cars that keeps throwing up problem after problem?! 😳
apart from the clicking solenoid, I now have a noisy wheel bearing, an intermittent EML and last night discovered my central locking has stopped working and the boot won’t open!?!!
Great start to Skoda ownership!! 🤦🏻♂️
All could be linked to a dodgy battery apart from the wheel bearing , the battery might be on its way out , that does indeed look like a boost control solonoid

They are not that hard to do yourself if you want to save money , if not any smaller independent should be good ?

Most cars post 2000 have an oil pressure sensor I would find it hard to believe the 1.4 twincharger doesn’t have one
