-
I shud be takin mine off tomoz mate so if u want my ko3 silly cheap drop me a pm. Im always up for helpin a dubber out so plz dont break.
-
And if this makes u feel better I had this done to me b4 now when ragging the car but I carried on driving it an it cleared lol
my first thoughts was turbo seals then stem seals but it went away an a year later never come back lol
Is it doing it constantly?
-
When my turbo let go on the RS it looked exactly the same mate :cry:
-
nice 1 peeps if its turbo ill stick a k03s on missis not happy about spending money but id prefer to get her running again rather than breaking it would kill me seeing it everyday with bits missing and just left with a shell :sick: :sick:
gonna shake this hangover off then get under and have a look :smiley:
-
Good lad. Its boiling down in Sunny south wales and im removing mine now as we speak im having a little break everything is almost off just need to take water lines off and one more down pipe nut as its seized :evil:
My misses gone shopping so no nagging either haha
-
going getting a bacon butty then ill start :grin:
-
just had a quick look with tip off and propellers seem fine no play what else should i be looking for if it is the turbo gone :undecided:
-
If its pushing out smoke it will be seals. Is there any oil inlet side (after the turbo)?
If not, it may be coming down the exhaust side. :smiley:
-
Mine was bearings on the T3, the cam let go chucking loads of shrapnel into the oil in which then went through the turbo oil ways
I'd say seals gone on exhaust side too
-
ok ill get the turbo off completely cheers guys
-
let us know mate. Tell tale signs should be oily residue in the housing
-
turbos off but stuck in engine bay given up for the day am black with oil :grin:
when was taking ic pipes off theres loads off oil in there aswell as in the cooler and loads on the propeller shaft of the turbo
-
Seals are gone then :sad:
