It would puff away at idle then a huge cloud when taking off then nothing till I stopped again. Fixed the seals and it went another 100k and barely used any oil. Maybe .5 litre every 5k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did an oil change on Monday so will check the oil level again tomorrow and report back exactly how much it has lost and how many k's it had done since the oil change. It was dead on the full line after going for a drive later that evening. Thanks, George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past 2 days it hasn't blown any smoke like it was the other days. Something weird is going on... George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was blowing smoke today when taking off. :S George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeghia82 Member 54 Member For: 12y 10m 13d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne, South Eastern Suburbs Posted 14/03/16 02:21 AM Author Share Posted 14/03/16 02:21 AM So I managed to get into contact with the previous owner of the car (who my mate bought it off) and he has told me that it used to puff out some smoke occasionaly on take off when he had it, and burning a bit of oil which is what I am experiencing. According to my calculations, this has been on-going for the past 55,000 k's. He had the turbo rebuilt as that was thought to be the cause but still did it after that. Then had a leak down test, comp test and something else tested and the mechanics couldn't find anything wrong. He also mentioned that the head was replaced at 80,000 k's due to a recall or something? Any ideas from here onwards? Thanks, George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for another George, did you figure out what the issue was or is it still happening. Any other suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
