H_D Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Hello I have a few smoke related questions if anyone can answer them it would be much appreaciated. If the turbo oil seals are gone what colour smoke comes out of the exhaust on idle and on boost? If the ringlands are fu*ked what colour smoke on comes out of the exhaust on idle and boost? If the stem seals are gone what colour smoke comes out of the exhaust on idle and boost? Thanx in advance! H_D Quote
turbo Grant Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 All the above should produce a blueish snake as they are all engine oil related. When do you notice it smoke? Quote

turbo Grant Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I'd start with a compression test see how that goes Quote
StuDoc 72 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Blue = Oil Black = Fuel White = Water Pretty general guide. Get your nose in there if your not sure have a smell can tell the smell of oil from the other 2 a mile off. Quote
H_D Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 Im going to carry outy a compression test this weekend and post back. I got a feeling its turbo to be honest so im going to undo my o2 sensor and check for oil residue with a bore scope. Quote
StuDoc 72 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 When does it smoke? Slightly on idle and when you come off boost? Quote
H_D Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 When does it smoke? Slightly on idle and when you come off boost?It smokes a bit on idle and quite alot more on boost its like a white smoke and can also smell oil.No loss of water just a little loss of oil Quote
StuDoc 72 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Sounds like the turbo to me mate. Its not normally blue as youd imagine can sometimes be white aswell with the cold weather and stuff. Better if you can defo smell oil. Quote
H_D Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 Thank you all for your input and replies. I will investigate properly this weekend and keep you all posted. Quote
starletburkie Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 ringlands wont cause smoke out the exhaust mate plus youd know if it were them by the sound (boxer engine), blue smoke on cold start up and engine breaking is stem seals, blue smoke on idle is turbo seals Quote
steve-gers Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I'm pretty sure thats turbo. Does it smoke if you accelerate hard in a gear then let off and decelerate in the same gear? Quote
