Hey all

 

Finally got the new engine loom in, new ptu and interior back in with new cabling for the amp, speakers front and rear, and cleaned up, looks great.

 

But!

 

Its still pretty smoky but not persistent, 2nd gear 2500 to 3000 revs we get a gentle amount of very oily smoke. Under acceleration its fine, stop and its fine but every now and then pull up and your are overtaken by a smoke cloud!

 

My question is how do I get the car to stop smoking? get the engine rebuilt? new seals rings etc? get rid of the de-cat? 100 cel cats?

 

Anyhow answers on a post card please.

Thanks mate but Im based in Dorking bought the car of a bloke in Gloucester who got the turbos from SWZ obviosly cos thier close to him.

 

I got my local garage to look at the turbos and they reckon they were fine.

Ummm don't trust a local garage, you need to have a look in the traders section on here for more advise

I got some anyway, it had too much oil in it when I got it so Im guessing they might have got gunked up.

Thanks mate

 

I just took it out for another test and its smoking like a good un again and running very lumpy by the time I got home Im guessing ive lost a plug or a coil as well?. Its fine when accelerating but come off the gas and then back on and a huge trail of smoke out the back and through the vents inside the cart and even out of the dash!!!!! Must be the turbos. Ill have to run it into the garage and get them to look at it.
