LukeColby Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Hello just wondering if anyone has had the same issue, just put td04 on and running to make sure all is ok before remap and checking oil level and it has gone a light brown colour and has a very strong smell of fuel but coolant level is perfect so feeling it isent the head gasket. Anyone had a problem like this befor ? Cheers luke Quote
Turbo Goose Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Mine did it all the time. Think its related to bore wash. Got my fueling set up spot on but eventually the oil always smelt of fuel Quote
5e colin Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 its over feuling big time get it sorted fast can leed to engine damage probly injector stuck open !!!! Quote
Ollieh17 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 I noticed this a while a ago. Changed the oil and did the same short after. Have a wideband and car was fuelling fine and compression bang on. Done some research into it and a lot of people say its nothing worry about if all factors are good. Your car will naturally run rich on startup, cold weather etc and short journeys do not help Quote
LukeColby Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Cheers guys it hasent lost anything and it is mapped in for ct9 running 206bhp and now its running tdo4 off boost so might be over furling yes but do i wait till map of change oil and see if it happens again? Quote
DevonGT Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 its over feuling big time get it sorted fast can leed to engine damage probly injector stuck open !!!! If it's using oil as well, could well be this. Quote
5T4R7ET N/A Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Oil colour should remain about the same on petrol car for the first 2-3k the it get slightly browner till 5-6k. After that it's get noticeably darker brown. That's from what I have seen on all the petrol cars I have owned. Widebands are great for checking fuelling but you have to know at what boost level the fueling ratio should be at Quote
LukeColby Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Its not using oil at the moment :/ the level has raised slightly if anything And its not a normal old oil colour Quote
daniel_g Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Defo get the map redone for your new setup.Sounds like there is an underlying fueling issue. What size injectors do you run and what FPR do you use ? Quote
LukeColby Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Standard injectors at the moment and have 460cc for when up at td Quote
