the oil used was vw spec 505 5w 40

Noticed this for a quite a while and was told to change the oil which has all been done. I get a rattle on engine when first started and then clears. Sounds like oil starvation on head on a petrol car. And also getting quite a bit of smoke on hard acceleration and had smoke come from engine bay on s...

noticed this on wednesday when driving to chris's but it was then fine but driving home tonight i went to pull away from lights and it was so laggy and then then turbo hit at about 3000rpm but driving down my road it was like the turbo wasnt working at all

Car is running ace and recorded 58.8mpg on way home so well chuffed
