AMBROSIA

I will try and keep this short. The vehicle has now nearly covered 140k in total. At 90k the EGR valve was replaced due to it being faulty before any attempt of the 'emissions fix' update. Which really goes to show this part can fail before any reprogramming being done. However this 23R6 recall was apparently abandoned for some unknown reason as when I took the vehicle in for servicing the dealer kept asking me if I wanted it done. (I declined) But Skoda UK records show as being completed. This is still being investigated at the moment but due to bad workmanship from this dealer oil leaks and 'misting' of oil was occurring at the back of the engine block and I was told all engines do this! Gobsmacked I got Skoda UK to cover the cost of a proper repair by another dealer who nailed it. Now me thinking great no more oil leaks then boom oil leaking from what I can see from the inlet manifold stepper motor aperture for the swirl flaps and end mounting bolts. So I thought get the manifold gasket replaced. Got that done and still she insists in weeping oil! I have been given many excuses for example over tightened oil filter cap which may have a hairline crack or old oil residue and finally turbo getting tired causing blow by or breathing heavy. I do believe this is not the case and it requires a complete uprated or modified assembly. The reason being is that I did read somewhere that the 1.2tdi polo's suffered fractures and VW modified them. I also spoke to a Seat Technician and he confirmed these are common across the EA189 engines across all manufactures who share this engine. He said remember that these are plastic and they get hot and cold and are renowned for cracking. I did remember that when in regeneration mode these engines reach 130 degrees plus! What I cannot understand is why didn't the Skoda dealer tell me this? Has anyone on the forum come across this problem on their vehicle? I know this will be a costly repair and again I will ask Skoda UK aid with costs if possible. I have tried to find info on the site but its very vague and could only find some info on the 1.6tdi variant and any advice given would be greatly appreciated.
