Need more info. NA or TT? Check your coolant and oil. Oil in coolant or vice versa? Any hesitation? Lack of power? Worse than usual fuel consumption? Smokes all the time or only when cold?
It's a tt, 89 z32, how do I no if there is coolant in the oil or oil in the coolant? Just had a radiator flush a month ago =( Or dose anyone no of any places that can help me that are are near maddington 20mins any direction?
ok no oil or colant mixed, just not much boost, black and white smoke coming out of exhaust, can anyone help me, or any way to see if my turbo is gone?
Like black black, or blue smoke? If the turbo is gone it won't be black smoke, it will be blue. Black = fuel/too rich Blue = burning oil White = steam/water
It getting into the exhaust or combustion chamber. If you get blue smoke at start up it is often valve stem seals. As they get old and crap oil seeps past them and into the chamber which burns when you start the motor. If you get it when boosting or after boosting then it's often your turbo seals failing. Oil that lubricates the turbo's gets into the exhaust housing and coz it's friggen hot in there it burns. Other way is a leaky seal on the compressor side of the turbo which lets oil get drawn into the engine through the intake and is then burnt. Another way is damaged pistons, cracked ringlands or hole in the piston. You normally have a pretty rooted engine at this stage You can get oil entering the intake under high g cornering through the PCV system as it pools in the heads. So yeah, lotsa ways!
