  1. Hi treble smoke is very possibly is either valve stem seals or a sticky compression ring, turbo seals I doubt but an easy check is remove the intake for the turbo and manually pull the vane boss up and down and check back unforward for end float should be about 1mm up and down with no end float from side to side, I would also be checking for scanned faults and any history of cam chain replacement as at that milage all four chains are well on their way, if its dirt cheap buy it and run it until it dies, turbo recon about £600 for the part and a cam chain change anywhere over £3000.

  2. On some German cars the permanent live and ignition live are the wrong way around. If your head unit wiring harness has red and yellow wire you need to swap them round. Most have bullet connectors already so just swap them round. If they don’t have them then cut the red and yellow wire in the middle and fit bullet connectors to swap them that way. I haven’t changed my head unit but as it’s German I’m convinced that this will be the problem. If that doesn’t work upload a photo and I’ll work it out for you.

  3. Hi just because it has not got stop start it will need to be coded as the stop start has nothing to do with this, but the battery energy monitor does and thats what controls the charging from the alternator, with regard to the clutch position sensor I am not sure what type you have if its on the pedal its clearly visible and will be sitting just above the pedal so when you press the clutch down you will see the little pin in the unit start to drop down, if the sensor is on the clutch master cylinder you have to change the whole unit, easiest thing to do is get the vehicle scanned for faults as I am sure that will tell you straight away as at the moment it could be a starter, crank sensor, clutch switch, sorry I can't be of more help.
