can any one point me to the direction of where all the pvc hoses are and where the valves are as my z is smoking (white smoke) smells of oil but could be petty smell as engine been flooded after weeks of cranking and car not starting but finaly sorted starting prob out and cars smoking first it was from the passenger side exhust thats cleared and now its from the driver side exhust smokes a bit more when uv reved it and once its ticking over after reving it after a while the smoke calms down a bit but soon as you rev again it dooes the same, water levels fine also the oil level is fine. what can it be??

loll cheers for the advice i think i might have got to the bottom of the smoking business, i thought id check my oil again but this time desided to smell it and it smells like its got petty in it, i got my dad to have a sniff as well and he said defo petty in it and oil is very thin could this be the prob? i only changed oil about 3 months ago and it aint realy done any miles at all on it may be 10 - 15 i think i put in 5w or 10w not sure could this be the probs? whats the best oil ratin to go for? cheers

 

as for your probs starting, thats abit of a round the houses job, again start easy and then work up, or raid your piggy bank and get it in the garage for someone to have a proper look at it, sometimes its better to pay out than drive yourself mad with it.

If youve got petrol in the oil then it will definitely be thinner, as the petrol has an adverse effect on the viscosity, when the viscosity gets to low the the oil literally runs like water and will loose alot of its thermal and lubrication properties, Get some engine flush and make sure all the contaminated oil is gone, otherwise as soon as the new stuff goes in, it will also be contaminated. Everyone has a different oppinion on oil grade, but i lean towards a 10w/50. That particular grade is thin enough for good flow rates when engine is cold, this is when alot of wear can occur. it is fully sinthetic and has excellent thermal efficiency so it will not break down under high temp, this oil is also hich in despersents/detergents anti corrosion properties etc, so it will break down crap in the engine, so be sure to have a good flush through first

 

All the best

oil could get contaminated in a number of ways but a common one is combustion gases, caused by blow by, but fear not. change the oil and filter and see how you get on. if you wanna check the viscosity, get a flow stick. 5ml of new 5ml of old oil make sure the temps of the oil are both ambient, tilt up the stick and see how the old oil flows in comparison to the new stuff

hi mate tnx for that well i have a very good idea how petty got in there my car wouldnt start and for over 2 weeks there was no spark on plugs so it had constant cranking and engine was badly flooded, iv been told petty will have seepd thru chambers so ill get a good engin flush and flush the engine, then ill put new oil in tnx for your help
