ollie ryan Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 right my car seems to be abit smokey at the moment, the smoke smells quite strongly of petrol, but i think my turbo is on its way out and i aslso think the timing is slightly out if that would effect itwhat do people think could cause this smoke?video below Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ktl Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 dont look to bad mate, the cold weather can do this..do a compression test and then see if the intercooler has got any oil in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 if there is oil in the piping that turbo seals?the turbo doesnt boost properly either i should add and last time i checked there was a slight amount of oil in the hot pipe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ktl Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 yeah mate thats correct,,,, if u can get a second turbo try that. again could be the weather.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 well the turbo i have is a first gen hybrid so i want a newer one anyway so may just upgrade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ktl Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 yeah, do a compresion test to see if the rings have gone, coujld also be a blocked pcv valve. but the smoke is not that thick anyway I've seen worse than that for a turbo to have gone. im guesing it only does it on idle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 better not be piston rings lol the engine was only rebuilt about 6000miles ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
