Smoking FRS
Hi guy,
I've got a problem with my FRS and i was hoping that someone on here would be able to shed some light on it.
Right i took my FRS into Ford for it's 62500K service last week, which all went well, apart from the usual brake pads needing changed! On my way home from the garage i noticed alot of thick white smoke coming from the rear. The car all seems to be running fine, if anything it might be a little down on power but that could be in my head. The smoke only seems to appear at low revs and on pull away. I am planning on taking it back to ford but thought i'd try to get a little ammo before i do.
Thanks in advance
Warren

I've had it all check over now and it is the turbo that's blown I think i know when it went as well. I was pushing my FRS quite hard up a slip road onto a duel carriage way and it started to jerk and pull back a bit then shortly after that i noticed the smoke
oh well, looking on the bright side i'm gonna use this as an excuse to upgrade

That's a nice little spec sheet you got there
I've already got Turbo Technics GT25/28? Superchips Bluefin, GGR K&N air filter induction kit. And i'm gonna add Turbo Technics GT25/28? Primary Designs manifold, sports cat and a Radtec Chargecooler.
That should be enough to keep me happy
