first off the car is a my00 2.0 sport <non turbo> with 87K
< oil and plugs changed 3k ago had no problems before>


goins along the motorway got up to 70mph <+30 lol> and in my mirror i had a james bond smoke screen of white/blue smoke
i slowed down and drove on the hard shoulder at 40ish and the smoke cleared so i built my speed back up to 70mph <+a little> and all seams fine, but its worrying me my engines gunna go pop,
also its idleing like a bag of nails

any ideas ????????



oil level spot on

water level spot on

thers oil in the air fillter box < as in oil has blown up and out of the air fillter >

and the pass/side rear piston is knocking like holy buggery

gunna get hold of a compresion tester and see where that takes me

I would say MAF, but that wouldn't cause the oil.
Sounds more like a manifold gasket. Have you got any water leaks or is it just oil??

i got a feeling ive droped a piston ring

if thats the case it might be a case of buying an older turbo model and transplanting the eng/ g/box / brakes etc onto my car < keep the year up lol >

Yep sounds like a ring to me. You will find on your compression stroke the pressure probably went via a ring into your sump and blew the oil through one of the breathers!

Ageed it does sound like a ring, could also be a hole in the piston.


I've got two spare turbo engines and running gear etc if you are serious
