Thanks for the reply stevey, We've had the car going again today, had to jump it off another. After a few tests I'm positive one or more injectors is playing up, so going to send them off to be properly tested. But won't get them back until the end of the month. I've got vagcom which after a few runs and scans isn't showing anything helpful. I did find some measuring blocks which seems to have issue with 3 injectors being out of tolerance. I'll see about changing the Map sensor and the MAF once I've got healthy injectors. We also tried to find the fuel leak and strangely along the edge of the inlet manifold right side it's covered in diesel, and doesn't seem to be sealing right cheers Rob

Hi all, Finally got the car to start and run (kinda) . If I leave the car to just idle on the drive it's fine but rev the car a bit and the entire street is smoke filled. Also I tried taking the car round the block and it's completely gutless and of course can't see out the back window for smoke. And about a minute after the car is switched off you can see tonnes of bubbles moving from the high pressure pump in the clear fuel pipe. Lost patience with it so took it to a local garage who said the car is over boosting, he mentioned the MAF They also mentioned a possible bad injector And they also discovered what they describe as a massive fuel leak, they couldn't see where exactly it was coming from but seconds after starting it and looking in the bay, fuel was sitting in the gap next to the oil cooler. So I thought I'd try replacing the high pressure pump, thinking the leak was coming from the bottom of it but there's still a leak and I have no idea what around there could be leaking. And too much air in system to start the car atm. So any thoughts?

Hi all, I've joined up because i'm completely stumped by this oil leak. So what's happening is i'm getting 3 different puddles of oil all at the front and in a line that seem to be running off the top of the sump I've had the bumper off and most of the front of the car except for radiators etc trying to find it but can't see anything. It doesn't help that I had the auxiliary belt fail and everything is now covered in rubber. I only get puddles of oil after i've driven the car at full temperature ,parked then switched off the engine. If I quickly popped to the shop I don't get any drops at all also if I start the car on the drive and let it get to full temperature before switching off I don't get any drops of oil. If it helps the car has only done 65k.
