Apparently the guy who said it needed a turbo has a Snap On scanner that hasn't helped him. He said it was reporting turbo under pressure and therefore it's the turbo.

I see occasional smoke when I presume it is doing a regen. Usually there is no smoke at all. There is no water in the oil either. Nothing is going on the floor as well. I can drive the car around town all day and its fine but the moment I put my foot down, it goes into limp mode.-

I did try to fix them. I had the cooling system pressure tested. It has now been tested twice. I also took the car to a DPF specialist and then a service specialist. And ultimately to a supposed turbo specialist... I've kept the service schedule and spent £2000 keeping this car on the road. I've tried my hardest to fix it.

Hiya Toot. I have had the car for two years. It's been using increased amounts of oil and water for a year but it's got worse over time.

Good evening all. I have a 2013 Octavia VRS Diesel that uses a litre of oil every 100 miles. It was using half a litre of water every day too, but since a garage identified the auxiliary water pump has the problem, I now only use half a litre every four days, even though the garage didn't replace the pump? Maybe it was a wiring fault? The car goes into limp mode when you put your foot down, when it is warm only. It can get so bad that the car will drive no faster than thirty miles an hour even on the motorway. I initially thought the DPF might be blocked and took it to a place that deals with DPF's. They said the problem was the auxiliary water pump but wouldn't fix it because they do DPF's only. I then took it for its yearly service and the guy at the garage put 15w40 instead of the recommended 15w30 but it is still using loads of oil. The last garage I took it to told me the turbo was ****ed but with two days and £1100, he could fix my car. Six days later I went to pick up the car and it is still broken but it has a new turbo... He's put my bill up by £300 and wants me to bring the car back to tomorrow for another day so he can actually find out what is wrong and no doubt charge me more to fix it. I'd love to know if anybody has a better idea of what might be wrong so I can tell him and what my rights are when it comes to the bill.
