Got my new Sony Ericsson C905 phone today, so decided to see what the video facility was like and found a nice quiet country road in the zed and took a little vid................

 

 

Came back, took a look and i saw what you lot have just seen. So i pulled over and took another vid just revving the engine, to show you what i saw..............

 

 

Would you educated types agree with me and say turbo seals, or am i jumping the gun and should i change the PCVs and see what it leads too??

 

It only smokes when on boost, no smoke from start (cold or hot) and no smoke on idle. Its deffo blue smoke though.

 

Nick

seems to me like what you say only on boost unless in very early stages then i would say no to your seals , one because the smoke seems to come out of both exhaust unless you have a balance pipe. two after boost and on tick over the oil would get passed the damaged seals and the exhaust would would burn it then chuking it out but yours dont i would say no,

Bit hard to see the colour of the smoke?

 

When did you last change your pcv valves?

 

Is the car using any of its fluids?

 

Have you overfilled or what type/viscosity of oil do you use?

its not a pure blue smoke, but it has got a deffinate blue tint and smells of oil, but it doesnt reak of it.

 

The cars done 72k and as far as im aware, its still on its original pcv's, although a gave them a good clean out when i put the polished plenum on.

 

Not sure about the oil, it had a change about 1k before i bought it and its only done about 5-6k since. As soon as i get round to it, ill be getting some silkoline pro S from oilman (cant remember what he recommends, i think its 10w40 semi synth)

Get the fully synth bud and change the pcv valves!

Wil do bud, i should be around for sunday anyway, if you wouldnt mind taking a gander for me and see what you think
