Hi all,
My first post here, just brought a seat toledo 1.9dti its got the asv engine in it iam told it was out of a golf. The engine code is asv207174 and is a rotary distributor pump. The mapping was changed to produce about 140 bhp, when i got it it felt like 140bhp and pulled like a train. Now the strange bit, i work in a garage and decided to change the oil and filter. After much searching i decided to use castrol edge 5w-40 fully synthetic and a vw filter. Did the oil and filter and took for a drive and noticed a slight loss in power it didnt pick up as fast, felt physically sick as i had read that this oil had destroyed a few cams. Before this i had noticed a slight hissing when under load and the oil change might be nothing to do with it. On the pipe that runs at the side of the engine there is like a throtle body with a vacume hose attached i did spray some wd40 on that to make sure it opens freely thats the only other thing i did when i changed the oil, so could that have done something?. Put the car on the ramp and noticed the pipe that comes off the bottom of the intercooler to the turbo has a leak it has been leaking oil out for some time could this hose be the hissing and could this hose cause a power loss, can anybody please suggest a better oil than the one iam useing.
