Could be wrong mate, but IIRC a melted piston usually generates white smoke from the exhaust. Were there any symptoms prior to the smoke coming out?
Might pay to give David at API a ring.

hi, im guessing it would mostly likely be the turbo, if the piston had melted i doubt you would be able to use drive you car.
im sure someone will may correct me if im wrong.

More usually piston, they fail far more often than turbos.

first of all thanks for all the reply's
forgot to say its firing on 3 cylinders and when i go to take off it feels like its realy struggling to go(juddering etc)and its very very slow
does anyone know of a good engine for sale?cant realy afford alot of money but i can lend some to get it fixed.
thanks, adam.
