if it’s not this I ordered some new valve stem seals. Is this quite a big job?
other than that , she’s done 130,000 and has been running ok, and doesn’t get hot, doesn’t loose any coolant.
help appreciated, cheers Stu
If the engine has done 130,000 miles on the original turbo it could be the problem. Likewise valve stem oil seals. I would advise taking it to a Cosworth specialist to see what they say. It is not really a car that most general garages would have much experiance with.Rebuilding the turbo yourself is not an easy DIY job and is best left to a specialist. Hope you get it sorted.
