Don't take my word for it that it's the relief valve i'm just speculating on what we know so far an...

drop your oil if that's your concern. you will know where you stand right away then.

Thanks Grazzy for the post and I will check for codes now

No fault codes showing

Oil level fine but checked oil cap and not sure if it's paint bits from where cam cover was painted into the threaded part of oil cap or if it's metal fragments inside the head😭

Hoping someone can give me some advise please Got a rev2 turbo and the engine has been fine was said to have had the water pump oil pump and cambelt changed before I bought it...everything was going fine got new exhaust fitted plugs filters fluids and then after fitting thermostat as it didn't have ...
