MK3 1.4 Engine smoking
« on: 30 January 2009, 21:33 »
I am having trouble with my car now.

Basically, I got it due to an oil leak, now I've norrowed it down to the rocker cover bolt being snapped. I took the cover off and cleaned and sanded it a bit (was gonna paint).

I put the bolts back, including the snapped one and the washer, and the engine has blown it out somewhere and I can't find it.

Anyway, I moved it just a second ago, no hard revving, and I noticed smoke. I took the air filter off (big round box) and loads of smoke comming out of the intake pipe and the throttle body. Wondering why this is? When it happens, it gets a bit juddery too although I don't know if thats cause there has been no fuel (according to gauge) for like ages. Oil is comming out of the hole and the rocker cover, and is pouring onto the exhaust, that is smoking.

Is that what it is? Then the engine is sucking in smoke so it's juddery? Only thing I don't get is that its comming out of the throttle body, bit confused.

Thanks!

sounds like a blocked breather, and lack of fuel

OK, what's the best thing to do now? I think I'm gonna finish stripping the interior and then take the front bumper and slam pannel off, then clear up the engine.
