dj-jon-boi Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 i bought a 96 glanza yesterday and on the way home i was stuck in traffic and noticed a fair bit of smoke was coming out of the exhaust and a distinct smell of burning oil, it only does it when its idling but only sometimes.... turbo problem?

dj-jon-boi Posted April 20, 2009 Author Posted April 20, 2009 not sure really,like whiteish. pretty sure its oil Quote
AlexGTAdv Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 it will be the turbo or valve stem seals, is there oil coming out of you're dump valve? Quote

AlexGTAdv Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 If you have that sort of money you might as well save a little bit more and get a Tong GT spec hybrid for £465. Contact Enzo for more info. I can tell you that they are well worth it as i am running one and it is exellent! Quote
