Oil changes u mean engine oil change or any specific turbo oil lubricant, sorry for my ignorance :)

The turbo is only lubricated by engine oil under pressure.

So guys today. I took the car into the potorway, with tank of diesel and archoil AR6400 foot down. Up and down after 30£ of diesel I have notice the turbo back to life, I don’t know what when wrong.

I've used the AR6400 , sounds like another vote for it (maybe ? , but I do love an additive :D)

I’m a bit more relived as I like to change engine oil very often every 5000 or less. ;)

A friend of mine told me he had similar issue on this VW. So I order a 400ml online give it a try.

Here is a few paragraphs from an article (C&P) on gummed up turbo's which outlines the issues,

Why do turbo chargers accumulate deposits in the first place?

1. Accumulated deposits in the fuel system and combustion area will result in a lower quality of combustion resulting in additional hydrocarbons that will deposit in the post combustion areas such as the turbo charger.

2. Driving styles and type of journeys. Stop start driving and/or short trips will take its toll as the engine is unable to reach sufficient temperature to optimise the quality of combustion and/or help burn off existing carbon deposits. More hydrocarbons are produced whilst the engine is in its warm up cycle.

Its most useful line;

Also remember that heat is your friend and occasionally dropping a gear or two to increase temperatures will assist the cleaning process.
