Or did u get to it in time? (Is this possible?) I had this when one of my new tubs started smoking due to oil starvation, was knackered beyond repair though! :( Quote

Shunter Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 cheers neil hows your car still smoking or has it settled down now mate steve Still smoking mate, it's not looking good, have checked pcvs, checked all pipes, oil and filter change, going to chuck saome of that oil treatment for softening up seal in it, dont hold out much hope. Looks like my winter project could be a turbo overhall!!! Quote

Shunter Posted September 1, 2004 Posted September 1, 2004 Thanks dude!!! :shock: They aint no bigger than yours, and if you can do it............................ Did you read pm? Quote
yewcheck Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Shunter i checked my pcvs thought they were fine.....................but purchased some from mike feeney any way and problem solved. Moral of story i was all ready to buy tubs from smithy but thought hmmmmm 35 quid or 1500 :shock: so went for cheaper option and bingo no more smoke :dance: well worth considoring bud cheers Dave Quote
Shunter Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Maybe worth trying, thanks Yewcheck, i've been playing tonight, and it seems that the oil additive maybe helping, fingers crossed, if not, new pcv's, then start looking at turbs!!! Quote
