New supra owner bad start

hello all

just bought a supra import singal turbo yesterday.

and half way home the car banged smoke coming out off engine and oil every were mainly at the front of the car also sprayed out of the exhaust over the rear bumper.

just wondering if any off you have had a simler problem and if its going to cost lots ???

it totaly drained its self off oil when i checked with the dip stick.

it should be going into the garage asap but i dont think theyl be able to look at it for a while.

thanks Richard

Doesn't sound good at all. Perhaps the turbo has had it

Whoops, blimey mate. It doesn't sound cheap thats for sure.

You get a warranty with it? - it is obviously not fit for purpose. Speak to Trading Standards for advice

i was hoping it was only going to be a oil seal or something

the engine light diddnt come on just the oil light.

i bought it off a guy of this forum.

privert sale.

It could be an oil seal, or a feed for your turbo. But without more details or pics, we're just going to be guessing.

front main crank seal perhaps?

Names.

well it looks like the belt at the front of the engine block scatered the oil around there is a puddel of oil on the under tray right in the center at the bottom of the engine

carnt see not split hoses or anything like that it just popped and a fair bit of smoke was coming out so i pulled over straight away.

and thats pritty much it

the rac guy said it could be the crank seal would that be pricey ??

You didnt buy the so called GReddy tuned car for 16k did you???

Wasn't that 11

Being a pervert same it's sold as seen, isn't it..,.

no 16995! just seen in his first ever post he was thinking of getting/looking at it. thread was then closed

Well i would hope someone here wouldnt sell a lemon to someone. Alas it seems not

no i diddnt buy that.

bought a differnt one of a guy off this forum in the sale section

carnt git any pics the car is near petterbourgh in a pound waiting to go to witfbitz.

iam just really gutted the guy was a really nice guy and that

have you contacted him?

Thats unlucky mate and a bad start to Supra ownership.

fingers crossed you get in fixed asap.

It may just be one of those things that happens. Like Pistonbroke said though pics would help the super technically minded here. Thing is it is a big single/big spec'd car so when things go pop it isnt usually a cheap fix.... nothing on any Supra is a cheap fix really mate. Hope you get it sorted.

yeah spoke to him

he said he diddnt know what it could be.

i supose ill just have to wait to see what the problem is and how much itl cost to sort.

Well you can be rest assured if its going to Whifbitz it will be in good hands.

Well i would hope someone here wouldnt sell a lemon to someone. Alas it seems not

is there proof to suggest that his actions were of malice, if not then I just see this as an unfortunate incident. Let's not jump to any conclusions here.
