Wardy Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hi,im having on going problems for a while now with my GT smoking on idle if i have either booted it for a while or sometimes when im driving normally. It smells of oil and the smoke is white. No smoke on boost or over run. Its an intermitent problem but this last 2 weeks it has been doing it quite alot and starting to get a little concerned :/I think it can be one of two things;Oil stem seals or Turbo seals.Im running a standard CT9 turbo with side exit exhaust so i can see exactly whats coming out of the exhaust!Any help?cheersWardy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 whip the intercooler pipe off coming from the turbo and see if there is any oil in there, a little bit is normal but if its soaking in there its your turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yeah and it smells different too when it smokes, u have all of the same symptoms as when my speed vision failed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wardy Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Ok I see, so we're thinking that it could possibly be the turbo? I noticed that there were white deposits in the turbo and wasn't quite sure what it was and quite a large crack in the wastegate which is pretty normal for a ct9.
