micky boy

Right just done a Compression test. With the throttle wide open EFI fues removed Engine upto temp King Lead unplugged from the dizzy And i got 4bar across all 4 cylinders which works out to be about 60PSI? not sure if the Compression tester is the worlds best i lent if off my mate and he bought it brand new off ebay and has never used it! So im still in the same boat realy lol But tbh surelly it wouldnt give the same PSI across all 4 cylinders if my rings/piston were fucked! And also today its alot worse smokes thoru the rev range aswell as tick over and when i say smokes it filles the str

Nice one Matty thanks for your help people

Ok cool i was just going to ask about the fuel pump! could i just take out the EFI fues?..Ohh and do i diconnect the king lead?

Just took the plugs out and they all look ok! also had a look down each plug hole and they look ok to..Im going to do a Compression test tomorrow so ill lets use know how thats go's Whats good Compression on a 4efte?

Haha done one when i first bought it and that was ok but will do another one to be sure! And going to have a look at the plugs was well! thanks for your help Cheers mate im going to have a gander tomorrow

I hope it is the turbo in you case mate! Wish mine was lol but have a fealing its something internal wish there was such thing as an engine x ray lol

Yeah that is very true! im thinking its valve seals also And also dose it stops smoking when i rev it because the valves are lifting there for makeing a seal then soon as i stop reving it starts to build back up again

If i leave it for 5mins it starts smoking if i give the car a rev it blows the rest of the smoke out of my exhaust and its ok its stops then give it a few seconds and it builds back up!

Yeah blue smoke! The thing i dont get is you would think if it was the valve stems then it would smoke more on start up as when the engine gets warm the valve stem seals expand and make more of a seal so to speak! madness

No mate smells of oil

Ill bite my tongue with that silly reply!!!

Its always had a decat on and has done for well over a year

I did idrees i also took the king lead off and turned the engine over a few times thats just something i've always done when dropping fluids!

Turbo is sound got it off a mate he sold me it because he's gone TD04

Its got 65000miles on here And it only smokes when the engine is up to temp not when i first start it? And it dont smoke when im driveing but then again is it but i just cant see it? only dose it if i let the car tick over for about 5min

Do use a favour mate write your own topic and ask people that question! dont wont this thread fillted up with shit! Dont mean to be a dick but this is my thread lol

I changed my PCV valve about a month ago because i snapped my old one

Hi guys wondering if you could help me! I had a play with a 3.0L v6 C2 last week i noticed the next morning my JP manifold had a crack in it so i changed that and took it for its first spin yesterday!..Well everything was ok untill i got to Mcdonalds and was waiting in the drive throu for about 10mins and noticed quite abit of smoke behind me so give the throttle a quick blip and it went but give it a few seconds and it was back!!! So i thought must be the turbo so got another turbo off Phil and changed that today and its still doing it!!!..So my question is is it the Vavle stems? If so th

Lol good to hear dude

I take it you are runnig a baileys dump valve? if so bin it!!! they always fill up with oil it dont always mean the turbo seals have gone! But i cant understand why you still dont have boost?!!!

I dont have any pics at the min. But yeah the nipple closest to the front of the car go's onto the nipple comeing off the turbo compressor houseing! the other nipple just leave all together it dont need to go anywhere just let it blow into the atmosfera Hope this helps if you still get stook lets use know.
