Thanks for the comments guys and heres a couple of pics as to give you a clue what may be happening! :wink: As you can see from the 2nd picture the exhaust turbine wheel has one again snapped clean off after a meer 500 miles since replacement! The 2nd time the turbo has gone in a total of 10k! sh*te TSI engine all i can say thats why they have stopped production of them im guessing to many floors when driven like they are meant to be driven. The reason behind it is a low profile sump, obviously not baffled as its to difficult to do on this sump due to the profile of it and its steel not aluminuim. This is what has caused oil surge on heavy track day cornering and the turbos spindle has just completeley seized up as a result and snapped on both occasions. The oil temps were also reaching between 135 and 142 Degrees C which means its totally broken down by then giving no decent lubrication to the turbo. Hope you like the updates that will follow.
