morgey Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Wasn't taggys burning oil because the pcv valve fucked up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Thats true actually ^^^ but if a turbo shits itself then normally oil ends up in the exhaust. Worth a shot to clean the exhaust out for 5 quid worth of petrol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Couldn't hurt to attack the PCV valve with some carb cleaner tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dj-jon-boi Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 But there's oil residue before the turbo... In the mani. And my exhaust comes out infront of my front wheel so It's not very long. Think the oil would have burnt off by now and it smokes a shit load! What is the pcv? And where? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If you have any oil in the exhaust ports on the head then its either valve stem seals or piston rings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Pcv is the plastic valve on top of the cam cover that goes to the inlet manifold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Warm it up before you pop it out or you will snap it in half (oops...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dj-jon-boi Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Ah, it's already snapped and I've had to glue it down... Will this cause and excessive amount of smoke? Anyone know of one for sale? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Possibly bud, ID-Workz sell them, I brought one the other week because I snapped mine lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
