my car seems to be loosing a lot of oil and my engine is covered in oil all arround the dump valve seems to be. I'm pretty sure it's coming out of my dump valve. but my car doesn't seem to smoke out of the zorst. Can anyone help me Pls

 

turbo seals gone? even tho its not coming out the exhaust yet, if its only just happend, are the charge pipes filled with oil?

 

sounds like turbo starting to go as my old one done this

 

Throw your dump valve in the bin. It's a start.

 

yes lots of oil in the charge pipes cars been leaking oil for a bit could never find where its been leaking from could this be where all the oils been going?

 

could be, but you say the car doesnt smoke, oil could be collecting in the exhaust. r u using litres of oil?

 

Get rid of your dump valve it cost me an engine....long story but I used to love them but on the basis it cost me serious money I fookin hate them now...

 

By the way...my mate also has a s2 and he had the same problem as you....oil coming from the dump valve...hate to tell you but his wasnt a turbo problem at all...he only got a new turbo...his wasnt really smokin either but after a while he got bad not major but bad enough..i thought his turbo was fucked to be honest but he decided to strip the engine to discover his engine was nackered....he got new pistons and a re-bore done....car is now back on the road and running sweet...

 

yeah using quite a bit of oil can ya get turbo fixed new seals or summat how much does this cost?

 

You can get turbos serviced but its however much the reconditioner charges. You can buy service kits but they are a little tricky and if you havent done it before i would advise it, plus the fact the turbo isnt always repairable.

 

how can i be sure that it is the turbo
