blue smoke

[haydn itr]

iv had a smoke problem for about 3 weeks , just want to confirm if its the turbo theres a bit play in the turbo alright its a heavy blue smoke when engine is on over run ,

Blue smoke means oil problem man, white smoke is water, i know that much, someone with a bit more knowledge will prob tell you exactly wat it is.

maybe a valve seal!?

[dannyps13]

possiably rings!!

ye id do a leak down test before changing the turbo, if you cant get a leakdown test done then a compression test might show if there is any blow by but a leak down is the best

any know whats roughly the price of a leak down test?

could be da turbo seals... i had that problem before with an s13
