Take 2 good turbo,s that were perfect and none smoking,producing good boost to have 360,s fitted and a bit of tweaking on the housing and blade fronts...fitted them and put the motor in over the w/end and then brought the oil pressure up with the fuel pump fuse out and after good oil pressure let it fire up and idle for 5 mins to be confronted by so much blue smoke i thought ide had a cataract over my 2 eyes. Got under the car and noticed oil weeping from the exhaust housing side on both tubs:angry:...Took the down pipes off and found this...to say ime pissed right now is an understatement,looks like he,s forgot to fit the seals:eek: please Discuss:yes:

Sorry to hear about this Bri, I can't be much help but hope its not an engine out job again.

Same here.....

 

.....unbelievable mate:sad: I hope you get it sorted mate,

 

Richard:clover:

that's a lot of oil, blue though......? id expect very thick grey/white smoke, the exhaust seal tends to cause this as the oil isn't combusted, merely vaporised. if its blue its being combusted, have a good look through your intake tract. who sorted the tubs for you? I really feel for you mate, been here myself.

I cant believe that, after all the work youve done too.

Which place did them?

the oil is not on the compresser side,all pipes clean.Its getting into the ellbo,s as per gasket pic and vapourizing. Just cant believe this motors got to come out again for another faulty part:headvswal:headvswal Ime getting sick to the back teeth with bad service and parts

Really sorry to hear it Bri after all the work you've put into her. I can't be any help either unfortunately, that stuffs too technical for me :lol:

you have pm bri, this may not be as bad as it first looks.

FFS Brian I feel for you, having to re do jobs already done is a PITA.

 

All that smoke and I can only imagine you turning the air even bluer :thumbdown:.

No not again Bri :sad: I feel you pain mate but you have to stick with it and get that zed on the road:yes:

So after banging my oil filled downpipes on the counter of my turbo recon "expert":rolleyes: He goes on to try tell me theres nowt wrong with his turbo,s:headvswal....After 15 mins of being re-educated about his future health and welfare if i dont get sorted he turns to his partner and says "i wonder iff its them circlips that gave us trouble before":censored:....told him the tubs will be on his workbench next week and i want to be there as they are opened up for inspection....to be continued;)

Is it a well-known place? Just so I can be sure never to go there, or recommend the place to anyone by mistake. Zeds are hard enough work as it is.

 

PM me if you'd rather :)

either hes full of caka or hes not using the right terms, there is only one "circlip" in the core, this holds the front plate on, theres no hardship to it, its easy to access and even cleared poled. inside each bearing id held inplace by a circlip type things which has another name. neither of these would allow or cause oil to pass. either they have damaged the rear sealing face of the core or the real seal itself is ****ed!

It's even more frustrating when it's other peoples shoddy work that causes you problems. You drove past me today Bri. Im working on a house on The Wiend, off borough road. I was in the van having a cuppa.

After 15 mins of being re-educated about his future health and welfare if i dont get sorted
