Karenasx_ Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hello, just looking for some advice. I've got a tf035 which started to smoke, oil seals = fucked. went and collected a new TF clocked it last night then come this morning same issue, oil is leaking and the car is smoking. Am I missing something here or doing something wrong ? Any advice is appreciated, booked for tuning in two weeks with rdt, so kind of stressing out here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T-dog Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 You sure it the turbo ? , could well be valve stem seals or piston rings on these engines . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calum122 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Did you pick up a new or used turbo? Was there any shaft play. Often I find it's just best to have your turbo rebuilt rather than picking up an unknown used turbo.same thing could happen to that turbo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aye was second hand thought I was best of buying another as turbo solutions wanted £400 for a rebuild. May have found another shop who can rebuild it for quarter that though. also I think I've found the issue is related back to the catch can, so going to do away with that and try again...

SpikeyJp_68 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 If it doesnt go after removing the catch can id check all the intercooler piping if theres a lot in the hot side it would indicate turbo failure. If not its possibly internal i.e rings or stem seals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Also, if the turbo had failed, then there is bound to be oil left over in the inlet tract etc, so maybe it's just that clearing itself. Have you driven the car a lot. Ay, it may seem expensive, but it's £400 for something that should last 60K miles. And if they provide warranty etc, that's good value for money.
