sophiealice Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hi over past week car been smoking alot blue and white smoke did a boost test on it today and it still boosting perfectly at 0.6 but just smoking loads and smells of oil. Will it be the turbo or just the turbo seal which is broken ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TurboTobz Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Check pipework or see if the bov if ypu have ones been spewing oil out.Could well be piston ring related unfourtunatelyBlue shows burning oilWhite burning water They will blow a bit of smoke in the cold weather this is condensation related.Has it lost any oil?

sophiealice Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Its not lost oil or water we put a boost test on it today testes the boost and the engine condition and for boost leaks there's no air getting out anywhere the engine condition said good and was boosting normal its still boosting pretty quick soon it hits 30mph about 3'000 revs doesn't smoke but soon as i stop driving it or sat in traffic it smoking loads it starts of blue then changes to white smoke but just leave's loads of smoke clouds behind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
