Firstly i thought it was down to the pistons or rings but had a compression test done today and all cylinders read the same amount of pressure so this must mean nothing from the engine side?
I am trying to pinpoint the issue here and wondering what other tests can be done to find results, What do the symptoms look like?
yesterday i changed 4 sparkplugs and after a while cylinder 2 started misfiring, got the sparg plug out to find it was gone so changed that plug and now same thing has happened again misfire from the same cylinder any ideas?
Also if you dont want to help dont bother tellng me to go to a VAG specialist because I have, The place am at has a mechanic from the dealer and they are german car specialists, I have excellent service from them for the last 4 years and this is where all the work will take place end of.

The turbo could be at fault.

Ok thanks Ian Beale
-
The turbo could be at fault.
It may be so but if the turbo was faulty why would excess oil go on to the spark plugs, initially the smoke made me think it was the turbo
-
How many threads have you got going :grin:
Try and keep it all in one place as its getting difficult to follow and therefore difficult to help!
-
No I actually think the other thread had loads of mixed results, where as today after compression test it's starting from a different level as it seems I don't need to strip the engine no more, and better to start fresh
-
but won't this thread get mixed reviews :grin:
-

Yes its called diagnosing? You would know wouldnt you what on earth you can't just know the problem out of your head you need to do testing don't you??
Please stay on topic and stop banging on about the garage

Correct... so they tested it... then what?

If you had cancer, would you
a) go to the hospital, see a cancer specialist and then go in for treatment immediately with that specialist OR
b) go to a walk-in-centre, see a general nurse who said "well it might be this but I'm not sure" and then go home, keep ringing NHS direct who are in the know but can't actually see your body, so they tell you to go to a cancer specialist at the hospital, and then keep ignoring them and ringing NHS direct hoping for a different answer?
The people who are telling you to go to a VAG specialist with acknowledged TFSI know-how are trying to help you. :wink:
-
You stopped to consider you might have two problems not one.
There nothing to say the Turbo hasn't gone as well.
What's the numbers on the compression tests, when running the compression may still be down on one. Seen cracked pistons cause high oil usage on aero engines.
Have you checked in the intercooler inlet pipe for oil
-
Where are you located? Why not see if there's a member near you who may be able to help all along with vcds
-
Turbo seals gone allowing oil through the boost system into the cylinders then out the exhaust.
This causes white smoke, oil on the plugs and missfires.
The intercooler is probably filled with oil.

Take it to a Vag specialist who know what they are doing. They can tell you the problem straight away.
The white smoke is proberly condensation :laugh:

That was my thoughts especially if turbo was overboosting with incorrect map, it's probably a blown turbo feeding the engine with oil. The BWA is well able to handle the KO4. Mine has now 120k, KO4 fitted at 50k. No problems wahtsoever.
