Hi :dance:

 

I have began taking my plenum off :hurl: and I discovered that my passenger side boost hose had a black substance in it. It was thick like oil, but smelled like petrol :cry: There was not masses of it, but enough to cause me some concern. The drivers side was clear :dance:

 

I have had a quick look and came up with PCV problems. Would this be correct?? She is at about 80, 000 miles and I doubt these have been done in the past :rolleyes:

 

The car smokes for about ten mins on a cold startup, but this disapears as soon as shes warm and I am pretty sure there is no smoke from boost.

 

Break the bad news gently guys, its been a bad day :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

Oh, by the way where is the best place to replace the boost hoses.

 

Cheers and Beers :duffer:

Bump ;)

it could very well be breathing problems due to the PCV's

deffo the 1st place to start. get the valves & hoses. contact mike @ MJP :)

I agree, new pcv's and oil change ;)

This is what mine started doing.

Then I realised the rear oil seals on the turbos had gone.

Is the smoke grey?

(dont want to start an argument but...) is it de-catted?

I hope it is your PCV mate.
