Thats a good point....i have a mate with vag-com so I'll ask his to disable it and see what happens before i go with the delete. I'm not sure about the first part about the soot from the EGR. I thought the EGR was on a seperate manifold from where the breather pipes joins?? Do you have any idea how the turbo gets sufficient lubrication?? Sorry to keep asking so many questions, Im just wanting to make sure that if i go ahead and do the mods, it won't shorten the turbo life itself.....

Thanks mate. Ive just had a thought....the crank case breather is obviously running into the air intake system for a reason and i was wondering whether it may have been designed (although very badly) to maybe put oily air vapours into the manifold to lubricate the bearings on the turbo?? If so, then bypassing the air system and running it into an oil catcher tank (or terminating the pipe elsewhere under the car) may mean the turbo isnt getting sufficiant lubrication?? I may have it totally wrong but I'm trying to work out why it runs back into the system? :think: If i take the EGR valve off and dont get the car plugged in to overide the engine warning light, will it cause the car to go into limp mode or reduce power??

Jonny5ive, Where abouts did you get your TRD pipe from and where did you have your one piece boost pipe from. I have discovered that its not my turbo thats the issue, it is the crank case breather ontop of the rocker cover. Took it off last night and it was really clogged up so going to do the same conversion as you to prevent this happening again. Are there any dangers of removing the EGR valve??

Robbie 88, Mine isnt that bad, just a little smoke on start up but passes after a second or two. I ran it to work this morning after checking the oil. It wasnt low, so going to check it once cooled down. stuart vrs, What did you use to clean out the pipework and the intercooler?? As if i find out its not my turbo, then im going to have to clean everything out!! Benjiman, Where abouts on the crank case will i be able to locate the breather pipe and how would i go about accessing it?? Many thanks guys!

i dont want to drive it to find out if i can help it......do you think thats what i should do?? check the oil level, drive for 20 mins or so, let it cool and check it again??

so you dont think my turbo is f***ed?? Are the oil spots on the back of the car from where its dropping out of the intercooler and it needs a new seal?? or new intercooler?? I really dont want to have to fork out for a new turbo to find that it wasnt the source of the problem in the first place.

But i have been told that it would still be boosting even if the seals had gone but will deteriorate VERY quickly. How do you think the oil is getting into the boost pipes and intercooler??

Hi all. I'm new to Briskoda but i really need peoples advice: I have a Fabia vRS (2004) and i have recently noticed im getting alot of oil spots on the rear end of the car and it was starting to be a bit heavier on fuel than it normally would be. At the beginning of this year, my radiator was leaking and upon changing that, i noticed that 2 of my boost pipes where coming apart under load. Got those sorted (using cable ties.....actually worked perfectly!! so didn't have any boost leak and back to running lovely. Now after noticing the oil spots all over the boot of the car, i had a look underneath and found i also had oil dropping from the intercooler infront of the offside wheelarch. Have also noticed that the EGR valve is leaking oil. Do you reckon upon sealing the boost pipes up with cable ties it may have caused the turbo to be overboosting beyond it's capability and blown the seals on the turbo?? It is still boosting and accelerating as it normally does so is it the turbo or something else?? If anyone can shed some light on what is happening and how to resolve the issues, it'll be greatly appreciated! Many Thanks, Ryan.
