how much oil mate

*acidstrato* · 29-08-2006, 21:41

nah means nothing...theres an oil breathing pipe connected to a black mushroom thing, which sits in the intake pipe. so unless it was alot i wouldnt worry

Big Mac · 29-08-2006, 21:43

quit alot not enough to be dripping out though

*ibiza-cupra* · 29-08-2006, 21:50

sounds like a smear,like said the breather will carry oil vapour and it will settle on air intake.if all is well dont worry,excessive smoke or oil consumption??

*cordobabrendy* · 29-08-2006, 21:57

a little oil or closer to below??

Rick-24 · 29-08-2006, 22:00

that looks worrying..... is that coming out of ur turbo?, if so could be shaft bearings on the turbo shagged

Big Mac · 29-08-2006, 22:02

dosent smoke and it dosent loose any oil so must be ok then cheers guys!!

*cordobabrendy* · 29-08-2006, 22:04

oil seal rick.

*ibiza-cupra* · 29-08-2006, 22:08

hardly worth reconning its in the turbos nature to loose a little bit,its when it appears as smoke out of the tailpipe you have issues.

mine is dry but doesnt make it any better than a weaper

*cordobabrendy* · 29-08-2006, 22:11

lol smoke? the boyracer behind me had to put his window wipers on when mine went.

*ibiza-cupra* · 29-08-2006, 22:12

blimey never seen one BLOW UP before lol,hope it was a saxo

*cordobabrendy* · 29-08-2006, 22:15

306 dturbo, white...and brown stripes!
The car was still running but the blue smoke was rediculous, by the time i pulled over and turned the engine off all lanes of the m1 (belfast) were totally obscured, cars had to crawl past and i think mr 306 learned his tailgating lesson.

*ibiza-cupra* · 29-08-2006, 22:29

good cos i hate tailgaiters,i slow right down to 20 mph in towns etc

*Ninja* · 30-08-2006, 09:45

i also had some oil in my air pipes from the intercooler.. Nothing like above though :s

I remember forge cleaning the old intercooler pipes off when fitting the new one, they didnt mention anything being wrong so im not worried
