:mad: Got a problem with my Z (Z32), after an engine out, new turbo's fitted and engine back in, the cars been blowing out clouds of petroly, white smoke.

 

On tick over it all looks clear, blip the throttle and puff! Clouds of smoke. It seems to be worst on the passengers side exhaust.

 

Car runs smooth and strong, starts ok, but tick over some time's drops off and engine stops, car drinking petrol like it's going out of fashion!

 

Also funny sound coming from above gearbox bell housing, blow off valve's muted.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated. Also if any one has good clear photos of an engine bay, could you send them to me please? Just want to check the vacuum hose's are connected properly.

 

Thanks for any help. Pete.

Did you do the work yourself ?

 

If not. I would take it back to the garage mate and get them to sort it out for you.

:( I hear what you're saying, bit of a sticky point, got a friend to do it as a favor, I feel a bit stink, taking it back and complaining!

 

It's got to be a simple pipe or sensor mix up, just got to find it. :)

pete did find out what this is ?

just to update people

 

this is the car i now own :)

 

it was the passenget side turbo that was shot

 

it failed, so the garage said

 

getting it back in about 10 days from having both turbos reconned
