ManwithSupra Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) Some of you may have read i am looking to go single or hybrids over the winter, i am still deciding which... I just wanted to get a show of hands on who thinks this is the turbo seals that have gone.... No smoke on start up, when engine is operating temp and left to idle for a few mins i get this.... and its pretty dam smelly. Still getting good boost, engine feels good no sluggishness etc. ExXTwBkYy1k Edited September 4, 2010 by ManwithSupra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Start of oil seals Im afraid, if you let it idle for a long time you might get a steady stream of blue smoke from the exhaust. Giveaway is it only does it when hot. Time to go single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robzki Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Mine smokes like that, but only when the engine is running I'm using it as an excuse to get an active spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
