Kier Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 My Glanza is puffing out white/blue smoke when I go above 5k rpm. Recently changed turbo, compression test is good and tried some wynns stop smoke when I changed the oil. Oil is Fuchs pro Titan s 10w-40. There is no smoke on startup, it is only when revving above 5k. Any ideas? I'm not massively concerned as I drive it around like an old granny most of the time. Just a bit embarrassing when you floor it and it shits clouds. Apologies if this has been asked before! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikeyallgood85 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I had the same problem it turned out to be worn cylinders and my compression was also good do a leak dowm test as it will tell you alot more than a compression test! Hopefully its nothing to major Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Try removing the pcv pipe on the front of inlet manifold. Block the nipple on the inlet manifold and leave the rocker cover valve off and go for a drive. The pcv can fail and cause boost pressure to build in the crankcase. Can cause all manor of problems with smoking and idling Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Leave the pcv valve in the rocker cover. Pull the hose off the valve and blank with a suitable bolt or alike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kier Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Blocked PCV off and I am smoke free! So happy it was that and not shagged cylinders! Thank you very much! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 That's good then! People often overlook the pcv valve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
