Hi all, recently been getting alot of white smoke after short while idling.. the longer I leave the car idling the more smoke comes out when i set off.. once ive set off the smoke clears... car seems to run spot on, no power loss.
I went through KFC drive through today by the time I got to the window to pickup my food the staff was choking as the smoke smells really bad lol.
It's a leon cupra AUQ 1.8T
I took it to a garage last week the mechanic looked underneath for 2 minutes and said its the turbo.. so before I get it changed wondered if anyone's had this exact problem and changing the turbo has resolved the issue?
I've heard the eBay turbo' s aren't worth bothering with and eurocarparts want 5-600 for one. What other options do I have?
Cheers for any replys.
