I got my 300 about a week or so ago, its done about 65k miles. When i looked in my rear mirror i saw some blue-ish smoke comming from my exhast, i drove it for a further hour and saw none.. is it possible the turbo seals are going at 65k miles? :confused:

afraid it is possible, mine went at around 60k and it was serviced every 6k :(

Very possibly fella if they've original tubs, you must remember these cars are 16+ years old now. Get it to a Zed specialist and get it checked out

Yes it is possible. But just because you see smoke, don't assume turbo seal. There are other things to think of, for example: overfilled with oil, jammed PCV valve, valve stem seal(s)...

Turbo seal smoke is more white than blue anyway, and will smoke most at idle & WOT

Yes its possible but unlikely unless its been razzed. Mine only got to 141k miles before one turbo seized! Only ever saw a little blue shortly after starting when it hadnt been used in a few days or weeks.

thanks ,,, any one got ruff estim on costs etc?

Roughly about £1500-£2000 using recon tubs. Labour is a bitch coz the engine has to come out.

:O

I think i better get saving then :P
