GlanzaJim Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 My car on tickover gets abit hot then smoke comes out back smells like burning i gather its turbo seals? Kinda bluey/clear i think. Need help! No smoke when driving all fine. Sometimes when in boost and change a puff comes out. Engine got no noises or what so ever Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't actually read this properly you didn't state if it was or not but looking at your username im assuming its an NA? My badsorry mate its a glanza v.

And 180km on clock so around 110k miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 On tick over, sounds like valve stem oil seals, correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1991 starlet owner Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Valve stem oil seals would smoke all the time wouldn't it? I get a little blue smoke on boost which is turbo seals but white smoke could also be turbo too??? Maybe some shaft play? Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ROTABOOST Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) I would go with turbo, valve stem seals will smoke like buggery on the first start up in the morning (big puff!) and smoke under vacuum. I'd say turbo from what your describing mate Edited November 7, 2013 by ROTABOOST Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaJim Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yeah no chuffs of smoke on start up what so ever. Its abit white on start up but maybe abit of coldness lol. Great if its turbo seals. Gives me a reason to uprate! Cheers lads for the help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1991 starlet owner Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Turbo seals would be blue wouldn't it? I think if it's white it's the turbo itself?Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Turbo seals would be blue wouldn't it? I think if it's white it's the turbo itself?Tom.the turbo seals being worn and the turbo having excess bearing play will both lead to oil passing into the turbine and burning a bluish white.I would say it does sound a bit like a turbo fault, mine was exactly the same when my turbo had died. Smoke on idle and a puff when coming off the throttle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
