Title: Help need AGAIN please.
Post by: Wickerdiwawa on 27 March 2013, 23:26

Ok so I had the coolant and stat replaced today
And now the heater gauge works fine(happy days)
But after Picking her up on boost thick whitey grayie smoke
is poring out of the exhaust so I stopped
No overheating no lights on dash stinks abit.
So I let her cool down then off I went again
It happened again on boost with a bit off noise as turbo spins
So pi'sed off me just put my foot down a bit more
And it stopped smoking and boosting all fine.
Any ideas? Before I burn it.

Did you. Hange the temp sensor as well? Also might be worth doing it mate only cost a few quid.
Also might aound stupid but have you put the stat in the correct way with the rubber o ring on the correct side?

And my local garage done the stat and coolant.

Hmmm don't sound good mate. Smoke like that would suggest water is getting in the clinders id suggest you get a compression test done mate.

I would say your oil seals on your turbo are on the way out.
