Re: Smoking engine
id take it for a spin and see if it smokes at different times..i.e hard acceleration,overrun etc.. it will either be valve stem seals,turbo,rings or a breather..also what grade oil do you use ?

Re: Smoking engine
same as mine mate, oil seal in the turbo is gone, when you start it will it take about ten seconds before it starts to smoke?

Does yours stop smoking when engine is warm though? Mine smokes immediately on start up but stops when engine is warm and does not smoke when revved etc once it is warm.

Re: Smoking engine
Stem seals have gone hard, oil goes down onto the valve after sitting and burns it on start up. Easy fix you don't have to take the head off.

Stem seals mate ,, the tool to do them aint dear but if your buying new ones get "" top hat "" ones much better than original ones and the tool lets u do them without taking off the head
