Back in october i bought a turbo "cheap" turned out seals had gone and it pumped oil out the back and around the cooler pipe's (fmic) under boost so very smokey. So have replaced that with a "good" 16g but get to 3k and it starts pumping out smoke again, It doesnt matter if its warm or cold but it does get a bit worse if the cars warm , So im going to clean the cooler and pipe work out over the weekend but if this doesnt solve it what else can cause this ? The car hasnt been used for two months and runs fine apart from dirty injectors which is being sorted at the moment.

I dont think its the rings as theres no lose in power that i can tell but ive been driving a range rover for two months and a metro would feel quick to me now

 

when you have cleaned cooler and pipes out, you may have got oil in exhaust so ya might have to take for a smoky drive round its the quickest way

 

I hope it is just this can really do without having new engine right now

 

Thinking about it it does'nt do it on tick over so could this be something worse ?

 

get everything cleaned out properly then take it for good drive round think you will find it will clear

 

Well if it's any help, I blew the seals in my turbo last year. Very very smokey. After install of new turbo, still very smokey. At first I was worried it was engine. But after a good few miles it cleared up and now is fine.

 

Cheers guys ive only done 5 miles and most of that was off boost, Will clean it out then go for a nice long drive one night lol

 

hi,
what was the turbo which blew its`seals? i'm after any old damaged turbos for spares.
cheers mate
