I think me fabia vrs is broken my turbo cut out and in went into limp mode :o( i pulled over and noticed that the little hole on the egr valve had been spewing quite alot of oil. I turned the engine back on and everything was back to normal so i drove home and cleaned the egr vavle out and checked the pipes to the turbo and all was ok. This was about a week ago and she still driving fine so is my turbo on its way out i dont no what to do dont want to sell sally skoda she's mint haha

Hi and welcome aboard.

oil out of this area is normal, the intercooler is usually holding oil to a degree.

If you drive hard can you make it go into limp mode? usually the sticky vanes problem goes like this,: revs over 3-3.5k =limp mode, poss also heavy acceleration in top gear =limp mode. Usually returns to normal after a restart.

If this happens it doesnt need a new turbo just follow this guide:

this works if you have those symptoms
