GlanzaKidB77 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Just going to be blunt, had an immensely crap year so far...Parents split up, finished my 3 years at college (nothing to do) cant find a job what so ever and now my car finally has had it with me I had my MOT roughly 2 weeks ago and it passed fine with no advisories, but it only just about squeezed through on emmisions, The place i took it to specialise in rebuilding engines etc. To cut to the chase, my cars burning oil at high revs (blue smoke from exhaust) only at high revs though, the chap claimed due to this sign he thinks somethings up with the bottom end and he mentioned pistons :/ to add on top a few weeks before that ive noticed my turbo gauge is not reading anymore either Whats the best way to find out everything thats up with my glanza?Has anyone had this problem?Ill upload a spec list to see if it helps...Thanks Guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GlanzaKidB77 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Or can anyone recommend a place for me to take it? I live in staffordshire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Could be burning oil because the turbos fooked? it wouldnt burn oil if the bottom end is on its way out it would just knock like a cunt.. if the piston rings are on the way out then yeah it will burn oil!! if thats the case then get here compression tested to be sure....Also this used to be glanza_cl's car and he had the head rebuilt because the valve seams where fooked so cant see it been them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaKidB77 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 ok thanks for the advise pal, ill get a compression test sorted out asap, just hoping its nothing major expensive, how much roughly can you get new pistons done if thats the case? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
