You said it m8,
YES you are wrong - to clarify:
Blue smoke = burning oil
black smoke = excess fuel.
If your car is running rich the plugs maybe black and there will be black ££££ at the end of your exhaust. If you have an MBC fitted then this will naturally occur i garantee it will.
Although most ppl offer good advice in this forum i would definately not have replaced a turbo based on somebody guessing it was at fault so hate to say it Tomcat, but you only got yourself to blame m8, shoulda got it checked properly at a garage with the coorect equipment!!!! (lesson learnt i guess
).
.....i mean, come on, when you get comments like Niles (no offense but your diagnosis sucks) saying 'fuel pressure regulator blocked'
and 'MAF is squiffy'???
is that all about?
Tomcat take my advise m8, go take your car to a decent garage and get them to properly diagnose and rectify your problem - save yourself a load of money and wasted time. Ive been in the trade for 16 years now and i grips my ££££ when ppl with no qualifications in motor mechanics whatsoever think they can help ppl out with ridiculous comments like the above....
If you dont know then please do not comment!!!
I think ppl will agree with me on that, after all howmuch money have you just spent and you are none the wiser....... i rest my case.
Enough said.
Hope you get it sorted soon.
BTW ref your post - Yes it does sound turbo related but valve stem oil seals can produce the same symptoms....if the car has been layed up a while then chances are the seals have gone bone dry and cracked!!!! you cant rule it out m8. For the record, if you want to rule out headgasket then get your coolant system pressure tested and sniffer tested. Only a garage can do this unless you want to buy the equipment (it can be expensive). Good luck.
