Try spelling it VANES (Veins are what are in your body carrying blood around!) - Do a search and dozens of pages will come up. To 'lubricate' them (wrong term as they run dry bearings) means removing turbo from car stripping it down and cleaning all the c*&p out of it, or a new turbo. Plenty of info if you look, including a link to a full teardown with pictures by a chap on the TDi website.

 

You might be lucky and find that a good dose of something like Millers diesel additive, or a tank or two of the 'Optimax' or 'Ultimate' premium diesel will put enough detergent through to clean things up, but it will depend on how bad the sticking is. My old car did it a couple of times when cold only, and the detergent method worked for me.
