Good to hear. I know what you mean by checking the mirrors, some days you wonder if it was ever going to stop.

Finally got round to changing the other valve further in and bit the bullet on purchasing the drivers side turbo return res and all the coolant pipes swollen from oil contamination.Finally no smoke and no oil in the intercoolers.

Good news on the lack of smoke.

Thanks for the info, It’s good news yours has stopped after all this time I hope it keeps behaving. Im wondering if the other valve further in the pump plays a part in the fault aswell. Mine always seems worse if it’s been out for a long drive, higher oil temps, and sat for 2 to 3 days. The other th...

Back to the drawing board I thought I had cracked it but started about an hour ago and filled the close with smoke, I still am not sure weather it’s the turbos as there is next to no play in the one I checked but any thoughts would be appreciated.

I also found this https://vwts.ru/articles/tpi-audi/tpi-a ... 183_1.html mines not got this in the return line it’s bloody expensive.

Good work, Was the other valve between the pressure and scavenge section? that is truly nacard.

Hope there was no damage. Had the car running most of the day Sunday with the subframe off oil temps at 95 degrees no oil seems to be leaking now. Finished it off today along with a new air con rad all seems well. I will run it for a month see how it is, last check it did 500 miles and had leaked ab...

The brass section of the valve faces the rear of the scavenge pump end plate but I removed all of the scavenge pump section to poke it out.

I don’t think you would be able to get the scavenge section off still mounted, 3 of the bolts are longer going into the main casing.

Next plan is to get it built up hopefully this week run it with the sub frame of till hot and leave it over night. I will definitely keep the thread up dated.

Got the new valve today hopefully the pictures have gone up to see. I couldn’t believe how worn the old one was.

I hope it’s the same it looks identical but you never know. Should be here Tuesday.

Just thought I would share some info to help anyone with the same issue. I’ve had my c6 for coming up to 4 years now and recently have been struggling with smoke on start up. If I drained the inter coolers all would be fine so I figured must just be compressor side oil seals gave up the ghost. Decid...
