heya me mates cordia , blowing some smoke , when starting and driving , was wondering if its the seals or the rings and if so can u give me a price on how much i need to spend to get them done , cheers

Is it turbo?

Usually when the engine lightly smokes on idle after initial warm up it's valve stem seals......smoking under load is rings (Blow by), and alot of smoke after a long period of idling, then revving for it too disappear for a little while only to return is turbo.

yep its turbo blows when starting / idleling and when driven still blows stinky smoke lol , wot is that ??? and how much am i looking at to fix it

What colour is the smoke? What does it smell of?

yeah you blew a turbo seal by the sound of it just disconect the afm hose that conects to turbo and see if the turbos shaft is loose or possibly shaft play just wiglle the small nut at the end the turbine should spin freely and not wobble if it does its ya turbo seals spiitin oil into you exhaust

Appreciate your custom JD, but your statement is incorrect.

Oil when burnt is "blue"....but because you see it out the back it doesn't automatically have to be rings. There are other variables as I have already stated.

Best to do a wet & dry compression test to determine the bottom end status.

White smoke or excessive steam is the engine burning coolant, not oil.

Excessive black smoke is overfuelling of the engine.

yea , sorry i also incorrected myself i checked out the smnoke its accualy blue , and all round blue when driving and idleing .
