Might be turbos what colour is the smoke if you see any?

cant realy see but its light blue we think, but the turbos are only a year old

If it's blue smoke it's definitely turbos. Black is oil and white is condensation, usually.

 

Sounds like your turbo seals have gone.

It could be your PCV's!! Isn't that right Warren!!:rolleyes: :D :D ;)

I thought black smoke was fuel Ajay? Too rich .

Blue is oil i know

Sorry...yes - it was late. :rolleyes: :D

 

Blue = OIL

Black = FUEL

 

 

:D

yeah you guys keep telling yourself this is the problem lol, then wait for the impellor to break up and enter every orrifice of your engine :D then well see who crys lol.

 

 

 

:p

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.

we taking her 2 s.e.nissan on saterday.:( :eek:

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...

 

HTH

Agree with Andy,seems most likely,had the same about 14 months back,give the car a good blast out,nice n hot,stop,lift bonnet,look towards down rear centre bulk head,look for smoke risin,definate sign :)

nuthin like good, quick responses!! :tongue:

ROFLMAO!!!!!! :) :)

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.

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. :(
