Some white smoke & a little piece of metal ?
« on: 21 June 2010, 14:14 »
Oks when i start my engine sometimes i get some white smoke out of the exhaust.

On Friday i was replacing my AC fan and found this little piece of metal its about 6x8mm about 1mm thick this wouldn't have came from my turbo would it? explaining the white smoke.



I ve had the white smoke about two weeks or so could have been longer but haven't noticed till then I have drove 180+miles on Friday/Saturday the car did feel a bit down on power but the car had a full boot of camping stuff and 4people with bag on there laps so the car was very loaded up, but before that the car felt ok its only the 90bhp Tdi so always going to feel dowmn on power lol  :laugh:

Also cars not over heating and the coolant is fine.

Thanks

It's highly unlikely to have come from within the engine.  Could have even flicked up off the road, but more than likely just something broken off when you did that recent work.

Is it metallic?  Any signs of a damaged edge where its cracked off something?
