i suggest you do a compression test to rule out worn piston rings.. then you can think about turbo oil seals
noone knows tho mate im afraid... id do it anyway 2 rule it out and for peace of mind... if its turbo oil seals you have 2 choices... rebuild it or the easier option is 2 pick up a good cheap second hand turbo..
My GT gives out puffs of white smoke and the very odd puff of blue. Has been doing that since I got her all of two years ago! If its jus a little puff I wouldent worry mate
I agree with corofin just incase it is rings compression test is quick n easy..yeh i would do jus make sure you let it warm up n cool down after driving as you do normally avoid slamming your foot down tho lol.n no worries anytime fella
is the hole open?? is there a sensor on the decat??
no no its got a bolt in it. its for a sensor just wondering what sensor it is for?
corofins right u should check compression first for sure, but also a decat and manifold quite commonly makes the turbo shit itself, happens all the time, and it sounds just like the turbo. and mines just done the exact same lol
its for the exhaust temp sensor.. not used with de cats...
cool did ponder about that for a bit lol cheers for your help mate, al get a compression test done soon, hope it doesn't damage it in the mean time.
thanks again mate
are they goin to turbo??? the turbo has water lines and oil lines.. which gasket you on about??? sorry dude dont really understand what your trying to say...
ahh ok its just because it never did it before thats all you got a manifold and decat too?
ya mate, I had a little bit more smoke directly after fitting mine too, I just wonder if its that the turbo is operating a bit better and its dislodging some grime that otherwise would have just stayed stuck as is! I think people are over-reacting a bit in this thread!!!! Check your oil levels regularily and see if shes using alot of oil, if she is then ya seals could be shot, though at 49000miles I doubt it! As for pistons shot at 49000...on standard boost...I seriously doubt it! Is the car drving well, still pulling hard?
on another note my v and most 4efte's throw out white smoke when cold.. these engines run rich so will happen especially with free flowing exhausts and de-cat and on warm idle sometimes it blows some blue smoke.. happens alot of cars on here...
