regul8er Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 cant realy see but its light blue we think, but the turbos are only a year old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 If it's blue smoke it's definitely turbos. Black is oil and white is condensation, usually. Sounds like your turbo seals have gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dazuti Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 I'd get to a garage and get those seals checked pronto... Blue smoke and year old turbo's. I'd not want to replace my turbo's again so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andyduff Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Rear main seal! Its dumping oil onto the exhaust when the pressure is higher - is the join between the gearbox and the engine (under the car) wet with oil? Sounds like your problem...

TonyC Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Rear main seal!

Guest Timmy_Turbo Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Yep I would bet the Andy Duffman Hoffman is right, that rear main seal is a tw@t, god knows why! Don't think that it costs that much to replace but I could be wrong, Andy will know more about that than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paul newman Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Yep, Probably rear main seal, mine went too, look underneath, the rear of the engine and gearbox/exhausts will be soaked in oil if it is! The seal is only about £20 to buy, easy, but labourious to do yourself if you have access to a lift, or can get the car up really high. You need to strip out both exhausts, prop shaft, transmission, (clutch if manual) & flywheel! Then 5 mins to change the seal!!!!, then you have to put it all back, on my auto, it took me a steady weekends work with a four post lift. Labour will be very high if your paying someone to do it with it being quite a long job. :( Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
