right took it for a drive last night was fine, then went to go to the post office today started fine, got less the 0.5 mile down the road and it started firing on 5 cylinders... its the 1st cylinder on the passenger side,i think it is still getting power, but not sure if its actully sparking,... and is getting fuel , but when disconnected it makes no difference, and on top of that there is now alot of smoke.....:helpsmilie:.. its white on idle but i can smell oil, and did appear slightly blue under slight revs...it appears to be holding temperature, so it cant be HG, and when i left home was running on all 6... the oil pressure seems normal too ????:cursing: really confused help

 

help, its come out of the blue I've had no smoke what so ever before, and ran perfect up untill today...

few more bits of info, its a 1990, TT lwb import, it does have a tiny oil leak, less then a drop a day, but i cant find it so never fixed it, ill do a compresstion test tommorow but had done the whole car and it was all good only a few weeks ago..

what series ptu are you running? sounds like what im going through at the moment

series 1

sounds like it could be a ptu fault. have you tried changing the coilpack with a known working one?

yeah changed the coilpack, have just noticed its sitting a a pool of oil, which is comming from the passanger side , looks like possibly the turbo...

 

 

so i guess thats it for my Zed its off to the great scrap yard in the sky...

 

would explain why that cylinder wont fire, its sucking in oil from the turbo...

you have a pm dude
