whot would couse this is my turbo buggered my m8 said it was the turbo it has be putting a bit of oil though the dump vaule

ps it is only running on plugs 1 and 4 so im going to put new plugs in but whot would be the WHITE SMOKE

 

anyone

 

Is it oil or water ? Head gasket failure could also be worth considering ?

 

NUTS RuS, done compision test m8 its got shit loads there (so my m8 told me on the phone any way) so im sure its not head gasket but its realy pissing me off now

 

i thought white smoke was water vapour...? manifold gasket...? i could be wrong so prob better to put that theory to someone who knows better

 

anyone any more info would it smoke abit if theres water in the exsursted

 

Either do a block test and see what colour the dye goes or pop round to your local MOT place and hover the CO tester by the header tank. If theres a reading of co's its your h/gasket. Also check your turbo for wear and see how much oil is in the boost pipes.

Does it just to do it on satrt up? Possibly valve stem seals.

You'll need to be a bit more specific m8 for an over the net diagnosis, as to when, etc, etc, etc .....

 

white smoke is water being burnt.
black is fuel
blue is oil.

can't be turbo as S1's aren't water cooled. Looks like the heads coming off!

 

Craig, we all know Alans eye sight isn't that good.... It was proof enough when he climbed into the the kiddies play boot in the pub garden at the bull and then asked for a jump start when it wouldn't fire up

on what engine? norrmaly of the white smoke is coming out of exhaust it water!!! if it coming out of dump valve then its a whole differnet story

 

Mine was only running on 1 & 4 a couple of weeks ago, & it was the dizzy cap mate.

As for the white smoke....have you done an oil change, could be fresh oil burning, thats why its white plus you would be able to smell the oil, if its like a grey/blackish colour its just unburnt fuel mate.

 

Mine was only running 1 & 2 and this turned out to be a headgasket failure.

The white smoke would indicate water vapour and as somebody has allready pointed out the S1 is not a water cooled unit so I think you can rule that out. My money would be on headgasket failure. Valve stem seals failing would allow oil into the combustion chamber not water so the smoke from that would be blue.

Do another compression test and post the results on here mate.

 

Is it drivable?






















As I could with a lift to BK .......I'll get my coat
