jeppo Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 ah right ya learn sumthing new every day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzapower Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 ah right ya learn sumthing new every dayno water leaks from the exhaust, its just got oil in there when you stick your finger in it also i took the intercooler off and had some oil in there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 oil in the intercooler is normal i just think your turbo has gone, or going or valve stems change the turbo and see if its any diffrent if not then its got to be the valve stems Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TRD Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 i will do micky thats why im after one, you know the valve stems is that a big job???cheersDoes your car have the same power when you go on high boost? If yes,then its not the Turbo.If it rattles a bit but still pushing the same kind of power then its something internal from the engine(piston rings etc).If the car heats up quicker than normal(the water temp gauge getting close to H),then it is the head gasket.Hope this helps.

Jae-Glanza Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 If your going to a garage for stem seals as i was, you'll pay big big money, better of living with it and buying a forged engine off here. Its big money to do the seals.unless you can do it yourself or pay someone on the side, cheeky cash job for them on a weekend! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBDevelopments Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 its rare for valve stem oil seals to cause smoking when warm there only normally when the car is initally started.Another to note is oil burns white if you have the cat still in place. Do you have the cat still there?If so it might also be turbine oil seals leaking on the turbo, quite common on the ct20bTimTB Developments Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bucketep91 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 mate, its freezing outside. the smoke coming from your exhaust will appear thicker because of how cold it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
