Hawwy Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 My car is using oil when i bought it last week i topped it up. Used car for 5 days oil on minimum again no blue smoke or anything? And chucks a bit black smoke when turbo kicks inWhat could it bCheers Quote
akyakapotter Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Black smoke would point to overfueling mate whip your spark plugs out and have a look see what condition there in . The oil have you checked for leaks Ect as you seam to be loosing a lot of oil not good ?? Quote
Hawwy Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 Yes mate where should i check there does not be any on floor. Incan even smell like an oily smell too sometimes wheb driving. Engines meant to have been rebuilt 4k ago Quote
akyakapotter Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 sounds like you were lied to or it wasnt rebuilt properly it must be burning the oil then but black smoke is masking the blue smoke id get it looked at asap mate Quote
WallaceGlanza Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Check to see if you get a puff of blue smoke on start up after the car has sat overnight - that would tend to be the valve stem seals, mine does this and uses a little oil ie 1 litre over 3000miles (between changes). Quote
Hawwy Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 Yes but ive got th reciepts the guy was a mechanic and he had reciepts from toyota for theseals hg belts erc An no blue smoke on startup Quote
daniel_g Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 It cant have been rebuilt properly mate. I reckon its the valve stem oil seals. If there is no oil on your driveway then it is getting burnt through the engine. As said above check the spark plugs. Quote
Hawwy Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 When turbo came in i see blue smoke what is it? And how much would it cost for parts etc Quote

mattyD Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 put the car in 5th and let it glide down a big hill using the engine to break your speed (if that makes sense) if any smoke comes out the exhaust it could be valve seals Quote
Hawwy Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 It is valve stem oil seals where can i get them and how much they cost Quote
