i,ve stopped smoking .. i think ??

Not me , my car .

I was getting the old problem of smoking on tickover and a puff of smoke when pulling away , changed the PCV valves and pipes about six months ago , they were knackered so i thought that might be the problem but no it carried on doing the same :smash:

All pointed towards the turbo oil seals :cry: so i bought a pair , had them re-conned , got some decat pipes and a gasket set .

Right now here,s the wierd bit

Since thrashing round a couple of laps at Bruntingthorpe i noticed the smoking had basically stopped , bit hard to tell unless someone,s following to watch but the sooty build up that used to occur on my n/s tailpipe has got a lot less and no signs of smoke on tickover and pulling away.

Had a good thrashing round Donnington at the weekend and there,s no sooty build up on the tailpipe at all :confused:

Anybody else experienced owt like this or have i got a self healing car :nono:

If your PCVs were really shagged, then there'd be a lot of oil in the inlet and even down into the ICs and boost pipes. Can take quite a long time for it to all be burnt off.

lol, from watching the vid (cheers by the way bud, i'll get it captured and uploaded asap) looks like you were taking it quite easy ;) lol
