i doubt its turbo seals if the car is idling?

 

[D8MNS]

well mihgt sound daft but what else could it be

i doubt its turbo seals if the car is idling?

????? were would the oil be leaking into the engine to produce the smoke on idle then ....

round the piston rings

 

[D8MNS]

would this happen on a supposably

round the piston rings

new engine mork ,hope the dealers get it sorted

 

[m0rk]

new engines can get oil past the piston rings too... they shouldnt - but your engine will be a refurb, not a new one.

my car has been to the dealers and ........

The smoking is being cuased by the valve stem seals also the teci reckoned it was something to do with the dv relocation kit on ?? peoples comments on this as i find it hard to swallow ,but if he is right what then bugger !!!

 

[super cupra R]

If the dealer said it was the valve stem seals then how does the dv relocation kit affect them. Did they say if the valves will seal themselves as the engine as only done 6K.

 

[Copra]

what the hell!!?? the dv relocation kit?! cant see that myself.

I had leaking valve stem seals on a mk2 golf gti, and a guy recommended using the oldest, crappiest oil, to bed the seals in again. I forgot to mention, I blew the oil through them about a week before!!

 

[traumapat]

what oil is in it? dont they run very thin oil at first?



cant see how the dv can affect the valve stem oil seals? unless the dv didnt work and the pressure went back to the throttle body? could that happen?

dont worry mate the above is just a guess. im no meccy

why did the engine get replaced?

the no1 conrod dropped through the bottom of the engine not sure about the dv relocation he said sumink along the lines of the gases were to hot going past the valve stems as if to say it was burning them>>??? thru the dv relocation as the hot gases were and are being diverted another route to which i find hard to believe ???

 

[traumapat]

strange when the dv is moved to a colder spot? seems wierd

 

[D8MNS]

thought

thats what i was thinking ?????? hopefully wont happen again after they've been done again ..

 

[Fidge]

can't see how this has anything to do with DV relocation!

 

[D8MNS]

sounds like turbo to me,

Punto GT's used to do this all the time once they got to around 60,000 miles. In gear you would get no smoke at all but when you pulled up to the lights or a junction it would start smoking lovely blue oily smoke. Thats where i would have looked first off.

If it had been valve stem oil seals there would have been smoke on start up due to the oil slipping past. This was always a classic on the old CVH's.

Get them to check that turbo before brutalising the rest of your engine.
