hello everyone 
i have a 1.9tdi a3 54 plate and i have some running issues which i have tried to diagnose but would apreciate a second opinion, firstly i noticed it started to pour white smoke from the exhaust after a drive when i would come to a stop and was on idle i changed the oil as it looked thin and the problem dissapeared for a week or so but then reappeared ,basically i have noticed the oil becomming very thin and i beleive it to be diesel mixing with the fuel because th oil level is also increasing all the time, i am changing the oil every week while i sort the problem i have ordered a tandem pump and apropriate seals and gaskets and will fit when arrived
also when running i took the oil cap off there is far too much pressure being blown out the oil fill cap i only did this for a few seconds at a time its also slightly smokey air thats being blown out i checked the breather it dosent seem to be blocked but i am going to fit a catch can and vent to atmosphere
i also have bad starting issues takes 4-5 seconds and once in a while maybe 10-12 seconds its worse when hot, it also judders/lumpy on fairly hard accelleration mainly when under hard load such as up hills and low revs when trying to accelerate etc. again i beleive this may be due to the tandem pump
also i noticed some wires were covered in insulation tape so i pulled the tape off to find wires twisted together which i think is the camshaft position sensor which is also being flagged up on my code reader along with boost pressure exceeded here are some pics as i am confused as to why they are mated up to different coloured wires when i disconnected the wires i tried to start the car and it started exactly the same made no difference, so im now thinking these are the wrong wires here are some pics of the wires
