Just changed my PCV's for the second time and the smoking on idle/after a blast has gone! Woooohooo! :) :dance:

were they knackered?

 

im having the same prob with mine, think its the tubs :(

 

not long had a new pair fitted and i get some smoke after a blast, have changed them once and they looked fine when i did them

chris how can you tell the difference from when your PVC's are knackered and when the rear seals on the tubs have gone?

 

Is it a different colour smoke, or just a process of elimination?

 

cheers bud

Mine were clogged up and only been on about 3000 miles.

MJP are doing PCV's for about £3.50 each now so hardly worth the effort but I'll do it now I've got a spare set.

 

It's much better but I did get some smoke back today after a good thrashing :(

Maybe it is still the turbo seal :cry:

Yes they're not from Nissan although they look identical :)

 

It was turbo time last year and i've been getting bad smoke on one side after a thrash ever since :(

Grasshopper took so long to pay for the re-con and to refit them that I doubt the warranty stands now.

Plus a huge job to change :(

 

Which side can be done with engine in? It's drivers side thats smoking.

from memory dude, the passenger side can be done with engine in, but if its the drivers side then its an engine out i'm afraid

This is quite strange but the car hasn't smoked since the day after the PCV's were changed.

Maybe it is fixed after all :)

I wonder if there was a load of oil in the PCV pipes that needed time to blow through or something?

Fingers crossed fella! Would make sense that the remaining oil will need to burn off from within the pipes?

Mmmmm....I think I'll do mine.

Hope it all works out mate.

Grasshopper took so long to pay for the re-con...

 

 

Grasshopper took so long to pay I ended up paying for them out of my own pocket :rant: More bad memories :(

Fook don't start my Grass OMGimonitor off again.

Not good.

I think when I spoke to Turbo Force they said they had 6 sets of turbo's they'd refurbed for GPS that hadn't been paid for :mac1:

No wonder there were so many cars hanging around :rant:

Well guess who paid for those 6 sets of turbos... :rolleyes: Even paid for Hom's turbos ffs :rant:
