Hey guys, bit of a tricky one here! going to try explain in as best detail as i can!.
2007 b6 passat, pd 170 engine, saloon.
stage 1 remap, dpf and egr delete
after experiencing some running issues, i took the car to my local garage and the problem was found and repaired.
woke up the following morning, started the car and then came a really high pitched whine in sync with the rpm from idle all the way up through the revs.
Here is what the mechanic tested and is not the problem
sounded like possible oil pump, replaced with a whole new unit and the noise is still there.
3 mechanics have looked at it and all have failed to find the issue.
when i looked last night, i noticed there is a lot of gases escaping from the oil filler hole when you tske the cap off. if you rest the cap on the hole and run the engine, the cap bounces around like crazy indicating too alot of pressure or gases escaping to there?
any advice would be massively apreciated. please do not get distracted thinking it is top end or turbo because that has been ruled out by 2 mechanics.
image of something found in the sump, maybe unrelated?

funnily the car is actually running the best it ever has been, full power and has plently of torque. no tapping or knocking.
im completely stumped, any help would be amazing right now!
only option ive been given is a new engine which is not ideal.
