Thanks for reply! I think we can rule out low compression, as car starts at -20C with no problem what so ever. Will look for block tester, might take a while. Cant turbo be burning oil? It uses it for lubrication, could it be leaking to the exhaust part of turbo where it would burn due to high temp? Or is this theory total nonsense? 🙂

Hi. If you had much oil in your coolant before replacing headgasket, there may still be some oil in cooling system. My friend once had to wash his expansion tank few times to get rid of the oil. So if you did have alot of oil in your coolant before, try changing coolant and see if it gets better (it might not be perfect still).
