I think I might have a problem with my turbo.

When I start the car from cold it chuffs a bit of smoke directly after it fires up. This clears straight away and the car runs fine thereafter and does not chuff any smoke when driving.

However, I have noticed that the dump valve has some evedence of oil around the vents. I cleaned this up, drove the car for a bit and re-checked the vents. Oil was present.

Does this sound like a turbo seal problem??

 

Anyone???

 

Guess not then

Got the car booked in at ZEN next week for service and cam belt, will ask them to look at it.

 

You wont go wrong with Zen mate...........

p.s you didn,t used to live in Aylesbury by any chance????

 

The oil breathers feed "crap" back into the inlet so it ends up everywhere, most common problem is oil in the boost solenoid

HTH
