mattyD Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Try putting the car in 5th and let it naturally glide down a hill with the engine 'breaking' and see if any smoke comes out the exhaust then, if so this will point towards valve stem seals mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Everybody thank you very much for your help!I've just put my ordinal turbo back on and theres no sign of smoke dont get me rong after ive dont about 30miles i cant garantee it will start smoking on idle again! But not half as much as it did with the turbo i got off Phil!..Soon as my car got up to temp with phils turbo it was smoking its cunt off lol..I let my car warm up for about 15min today and took it for a quick spin and there was no sign off smoke what so ever :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 That's awesome news mate hopefully it was just the tubby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Cheers mate and yeah im not holding my breath just yet! lolBut the reason i couldnt see if there was any oil in the exhaust turbin was because it would burn it off by the time i had a look!..But today when i was changeing the turbo i put my fingers in the manifold and it was sooty! But if i put my fingers in the decat it was realy thick soot along with abit of oil so that was a little sign that the oil wasnt comeing befor the turbo if you get me? it was comeing after the turbo!!!

A L 3 X Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 That's great news mate, seems like your original turbo is as I suspect mine to be, just starting to go and the new one was worse, let's hope mines just the turbo also then haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
