Hey Guys, hope you're all having a good day.

I had a new turbo installed by a garage a few months ago after I got the car back they said that the oil pressure light was appearing.
They said they ran a scan and nothing came up which is weird... so I have been driving the car the whole time and its really bugging me.

I have noticed that the idle is rather weird... sometimes it kind of burbles and stinks of diesel.

I have just ran a VCDS OBD scan and was wondering if someone could let me know if it indicates any kind of error related to it or a fix for this issue?

Thank you for reading this / I will post the log below (attached)

I couldn't see anything in that log to indicate what's going on.

When installing the new turbo, did they setup/configure the turbo actuator?

If the engine's not destroyed itself already, it's probably not actually low oil pressure. Perhaps they've knocked the sensor or wiring?
Check the boost pipes, if one is loose or leaking the car will run like crap.

The garage you went to don't seem very good. They should not be handing the car back in that state, they've clearly botched the work.

Thank you, I agree its not good of them to hand the car back in that state.

I will defenitly take a look at the boost pipes etc as ive noticed its not running the power it should be.

Im not very savvy with engines so ill have to do some research. I would message the garage and ask but they might just lie.

Do you reckon it could be something to do with a faulty oil pressure sensor or maybe fuel injectors?

As said, the garage sound useless. Firstly they shouldn't be handing a car back with a oil pressure warning light coming on, secondly i'm not sure what they expected a scan to show.

I'd check the wiring to the pressure sender and if that looks ok then get an oil pressure gauge put on there to check the oil pressure is ok.
