3 problems I really want to sort

[Japdreamz]

OK so I've owned my octavia 1.9tdi pd105 for around a year now, 3 things have really annoyed me since day1

1. Smoky when in traffic

2. Around 2500rpm in 4th and 5th gear goes to limp home mode

3. Radiator fans start once key is put ingnition

What I think is wrong

1. Turbo oil seals

2. Sticking veins

3. Fan switch faulty

Can anyone confirm or correct me and also provide remedies

tbh I wouldn't worry bout the fan as much. The fan on my work car does the same. The other one doesent till its warmed up.

Ideally you need someone with VCDS. Most garages will do this but they will likely charge a fortune for what little time it actually takes.  Check the VCDS map thread on this site - there might be a user near you who can help.
