terribleturner Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Just when i thought the car was back on track today i go for a drive with Sabrina to hunt for cheap easter eggs. As i pull away there's a cloud of Blue/White smoke. After a few seconds it goes but depending where i am in the rev range it comes back. Then as i stop at a junction i just get ingulfed in the smoke. Im going with Valve Stem Seals. Anyone wanna comment?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 More likely turbo seals, but check the oil isn't overfilled before panicking too much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 James, Exactly the same here matey and I'm convinced it's the Turbo Oil seals, well I was, until my 2nd Turbo blew up earlier - so yes - it was! I have been having smoke on boost above 4k rpm, sometimes below and on lift off. Touch wood it's not anything worse like Piston Rings - but I think that'd smoke all the time. Good luck.

Ric Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 If its just a puff at startup or a puff after a bit of idling then its stem seals. Turbo seals would let smoke out possibly at idle and all the time while on boost usually if your single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg I love you both i think After driving over to Jamie's i now know that anything around 2200-2400 it starts smoking. If i let it just cost it's fine, but touch the accelerator again and hello smoke. sounds annoying... Did you find any easter eggs??? A couple but nothing special, seems everyone else had the same idea and we were left with dark chocolate ones at £4-5 still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 When you shot up the rd nothing came out, you let off at the roundabout and next time you touched the pedal you had puff smoke;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 if it starts smoking on boost then its either turbo seals or oil control rings AFAIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I would definitely go with Turbo Oil Seal James. I've had enough of a nightmare trying to diagnose my problem, doubt mine's the Valve Stems as it doesn't let off a puff of blue on start-up - ever, occasionally white and only seems to do it on boost and after a good run on boost on the over-run. Hoping it's sorted matey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 So what turbo you going for then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Out of a bad situation im happy it's turbo seals Cheers guys. And do you think the 30 psi caused this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 James, didn't you do stem seals when the engine was apart recently? Or was it just bottom end stuff you did? Time to get the T88 on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 James, didn't you do stem seals when the engine was apart recently? Or was it just bottom end stuff you did? Time to get the T88 on? TBH i can't remember, i'll have to double check but im sure it was just bottom end stuff. Would love to get the 88 on, but it means mucking about with the down pipe and IC pipe so for now it'll be cheaper to get a direct replacement. So what turbo you going for then? Hard one, think i'll just have to see what money i can get to play with and see what's available. If funds are low T70 again, but if i can grab a bargain T67 or may even stretch to a Gt4088. And do you think the 30 psi caused this? Yes i belive it did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
