I've recently purchased a 1989 Escort RS turbo. According to its history was a previous show winning car winning 1st prize in its class at the Ford Fair in 98,99 and 2000. The car in running a stage 1 chip, which i have disconnected as i am a standard car type of guy!

My plan is to put the car back to standard over time. At the moment once you take the car over 4500/5000 rpm starts bellowing blue smoke out the exhaust. On closer inspection, the metering unit is full of mobile 1 and a big puddle which has squirted out of the bleed valve. The oil was every where, it had even filled the almo valve and the pace intercooler.

I have cleaned all the pipes, valves, intercooler and bottom of the metering unit out but problem keeps coming back.

Can you please help solve this problem? What should i do? Where should i go?

 

turbo failure!!

 

Mmmmm, sounds expensive! What do i do? Can i have mine reconditioned? Or pick up a second hand one?

Can anyone recommend a contact?

 

I use the turbo centre, 01924 404112.
