Was in the car park to day and was on idle and smoke just started coming outta the back, Spelt Oil'ly, looks like Blue or Whitish smoke,
cars running 1.3 bar on a TD04 does it sound like its gone, its done 20k.

Turbo Seals?

I have a similar problem at the moment but cant get an answer, it just smokes when warm on idle, ive had plugs out all fine did a compression all fine and no oil in intercooler so it must be turbo seals, its not proper burnt blue smoke like an old oil burner its more grey, any way got a second hand turbo coming this week so see if that cures it

Thats what happenned to mine when i ran tooo much boost,started at idle but cleared when drove,your really pushung the limits on 1.3bar on a td04.
Whitish smoke bellowing out the back.

1.3 bar isnt that excessive, most can run that happily all day.

maybe thrust has just gone , get it looked at asap ,, maybe recon check through front of turbo for loads of play i think on a bushedt urbo no back and forth movement is allowed or not a lot anyway , if i am wrong someone say ..gazza. oh might know some one with a tdo4 which has just been re built 1000 mile ago , and i believe rc did it somewhere along the line with roller bearings but i would have to check as i am fitting him a gt30 this week, pm me if interested gazza

I thought it may be the turbo if it is ill go VF30 or VF35 i think, But to be honest im thinking about having the std Map put back on the car i cant be botherd with Turbo Blowing and that.

Whats the Mx boost a VF30 Can take safely?
