My cars had a smoking habbit since the day that I got it however I never thought it was that bad...until today. Got caught in some horrendous traffic jams this morning, took over an hour to do less than a mile and then another two hours to do a journey that normaly takes around 15-20 mins tops. Whilst ticking over for so long every time I pulled forward there was a fairly bad puff of what looked to be blue smoke, and when just idling you could see it wafting away from the back of the car. Under normal conditions it doesnt smoke that bad, I get the odd puff every now and again, this morning though it was that bad it was making my daughter feel ill. I know a previous owner has allegedly refurbed the turbo but other than a few vague posts on here I have no proof of that (Though it does pull like a frikkin train), is it likely to be the seals on the turbo and not something more ominous?.. (valve stem seals....RINGS....) I've seen refurb kits on Ebay for about £50, accoring to their chart I need to get a Superback kit for my 18T, is this right?
