lew777 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 right on boost it smokes above 0.5 bar. its hard to make out what colour the smoke is due to having back tinted window but it looks white ish. but boosts fine like it always has.the oils fine and so is the coolant if not a little near over flowing but it hasnt moved for a few days.the car idles just below 1k it idles fine but to me it doesnt feel rightbut on idle is hardly smokes at all on when it does it just looks like condensationive taken a vid not the best but you can kinda see what colour the smoke is to me looks blue ish.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o57JuQJMTothanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aaddzz123 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 you been tonking it and not let it cool down? Might be the seals... Take the filter off and see what the shaft play is like. There any leaks? Stabbing in the dark really unless theres something more obvious under the bonnet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 check the pcv valve and engine breather buddy. Its a possibitily Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keirz Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 i had a kink in my breather pipe once and it did the exact same thing. It can cause the sump to pressurize and cause the oil draining out the turbo to be restricted and pass out the seals. Even a brand new turbo would do it if breather system was blocked. Not saying its 100% that but it worth ruling out before spending money Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 blue smoke on throttle is gonna be:turbo sealspiston ringsheadgasket failure between cylinder and oil wayorblocked breatherCheck for shaft play like adam said.. ct9's are getting on abit now! Compression test will enlighten you the ring wear... see wat psi u can build on a warm engine! May also show h/g failure, though that is a long shot!clean breathers out, but very unlikely! Only thing that can really fail on breather setup is pcv valve. but just unplugging it and blanking it off from inlet you can easily rule that out?Good Luck Lew!

lew777 Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 it still boosts strong thats what i dont get. but obviously not giving it any more beans till its fixed.what are my options?get the ct9 recon if its the sealsthe smoke looks white with a hint of blue not much thoughthe water temp is a constant 80 not over heating at allthe car does stand for sometimes 4 weeks without moving so im thinking maybe just a load of crap in the exhaust maybe its just running rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 if the car stands for long periods of times... the valve stem seals could be the culprit... but tbh lew... 90% sure it will be the ct9 oil seals..the oil seals failiing wont effect how it boosts or performs if its only smoking a little bit....Imo, go TD04 or find a low milage healthy ct9... Hybrids i just cant justify there costs... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snails ep91 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Can yu shed some light on above, if it stands for long periods of time why it would be valve stem seals?just interested as i know mine wont be driven all the time. sorry for thread hijack.sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
