The 2.0. 8 valve engine is normally very long lived if it has regular oil changes but either yours is suffering from piston blow by or the crank case ventilation is obstructed, I hope its the latter.
If it starts well that would indicate that the compression is good, these engines are generally good for several hundred thousand miles - hopefully yours is not the exception.
hi thanks for your message i have been fiddling today idont know what the oil problem is but seems to be ok at moment.
The power loss problem is not related i disconnected MAF sensor and vacumn pipe to EGR and full power resumed .There is a solnoid valve that supplys vacumn to EGR,i believe this is stuck open or closed.Connected MAF back and still ok
So i will blank vacumn supply off for now thanks again matt
