G4V1N Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Iâ??m having a problem with a lot of greyish colour smoking from the exhaust and idling problem, ever since i had the valve steam seals, and head gasket changed and only yesterday a new turbo fitted, things had not improve one bit. I get a lot of smoke from idling, every time I drive off I leave a smoke screen behind and the same when I change gear. The Idling, some time it idle fine and most of the time it idle at 2k rpm, and yesterday as I was driving home the car stalled twice as the idling drop till 500 â?? 300 rpm and stalled. I really need help as the mechanic doesnâ??t know what else could be the problem. Any help would be greatful, thanks guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Black smoke would mean running rich. White may be valve stem oil seals iirc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
