Mat... You and I have exactly the same problem.

Personally I'm coming up for 150k miles and it's been a good journey.. but I'll be watching your progress if you don't mind, I'd love to hear how you resolve it.

I've been living with the problem for about 8 months now, and I plan to keep living with it, although I'm sure it will get worse until I actually get it sorted.

Keep us informed!

Mines been doing it for about the same length of time also & is gettinig worse....

 

[Mat]

[M87NER]

[SEATCOOBER]

pig of a job unless you take the inlet mani off!!! good luck

 

[Mat]

think I am Rich

SEATCOOBER: Gonna go to mates garage and do it there! If I balls up, I can let them take over LMAO

 

[Reuvers]

as said remove inlet as it will make job sooo much easier.

Inlet is off in about 10 minutes as well. well worth it imo

 

[Mat]

i have no idea what i'm doin! however, no doubt once i've got stuck in, i'll be ok. Will make things easier in future! Hate doin things for "the first time"

reuvers mate do you remove the injectors as well? I i'm looking at cleaning the inlet manifold when I service the ibiza next and would appreciate some advise!

 

[Mat]

Anyone got a link to the pic that someone drew in paint as a quick diagram? Have it saved on old laptop, but can't get access to it!

 

[lemonslap]

What pics you after mate? I have access to all sorts of diagrams

 

[Mat]

was litterally a drawing in paint! just want a simple pic to print and look at to make sure it's all ok!

Will be with 2 mechanics when I do it, so they SHOULD also have a clue

matt, look up the thread on catch tank from about 2 weeks ago. I explained quite thouroughly what you need to do. very easy mate.

lemon, yes you can get the injectors out through the top with a suitable sized spanner. Be careful with the o rings though (the rings that sit between injectors and manni like a seal) else you'll need to get new ones.

btw, i;ve taken mine off several times and never took out the injectors. Think injectors can only be properly cleaned with some technique of which the word sounds very expensive/fancy lol haha...

 

[Mat]

read the "main" catch tank thread! the massive 9 page one (or 18page). post me the link to the one you're reffering too

i have the very same problem on my 1.8t golf, thought it was the oil seals in the turbo.. so i changed turbo, no difference!
i did find oil in the TIP so i think a oil catch tank is in need..
if that doesnt work i will do oil stem seals. but it only smokes on tick over after 5mins or so? and not in the morning etc.. so not sure it is that?
be good to see how u get along with yours m8.
