Blocked oil breather?

I'd do an oil flush, but then I've always done flushes from the outset!

i no its a different car but thought id try and help…. my mate has a scirocco and he was having the same kind of problem, he put it in the garage and came back that the valves were bent, this resulted in a head rebuild with new valves, injectors, pistons and followers. i wouldnt dive in to this until you are sure as it is very costly but just an idea

hope this helps mate
