You could be getting blow back. This can be caused by filling the car up with oil too much. Get the car checked asap.

Yeah just check the dipstick! I overfilled the dopy little sump changing the oil on the Wingroad on Sunday and had to drain about a litre out. It only took about 3litres!

Then check the amount of vapour coming out of the crankcase & topcover vents and going into the intake system. This is the amount of compression leaking past the rings and venting into the intake system. Worn rings=more compression leakage.

Then go and check a few other ppls Altezzas to make sure yours is any worse..!
