lew777 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 What colour smoke is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Just keep an eye on the smoke and check oil/ water levels frequently to see if they're dropping. Usually worn turbo oil seals will chuck out a load of smoke when your idling after a drive. That's what happened with my old hybrid ct9 anyway! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nads Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 White smoke but just had head done?...Turbo is nearly new!...And only under high revs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Might sound silly but are you sure its not just the cold weather + rain? I know due to my exhaust being angled up, every time it rains i get a pool of water in the backbox which creates white smoke for a good 10 minutes then clears up. Suppose that doesn't answer why your only getting smoke on high revs though.. Just keep an eye on your coolent levels mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
