When driven a few miles from cold and the secs monitor hits 69-70 degrees,if at idle i get a burst of grey/black light smoke from the exhaust,just changed from silkolene pro s 10/50 to millers 10/60 would that be anything to do with it ? Any ideas welcome troops.
Doesn't smoke under boost conditions and has only done it twice .

 

No idea, but why have you changed oil?

 

can you smell fuel?

 

i ask that too

 

I found Silkolene gives lower oil pressure compared with Mobil1, possibly a reason for the change?

Or he's just tight

I read somewhere Kev that old age in the owner can cause this

I'd check plugs and if they are ok then I'd wait until it does it again/gets worse really...

 

mine hits 91 before the fans cut in

degrees,

what your secs monitor errors set at via engine temps

 

Couldn't get silkolene at the time.

Does smell when cold but not really when warm.

Not sure what you mean pal ?

Might just change back to silkolene as it was good as gold before that.

 

What does oil pressure have to do with it. Changing to silkolene does seem to give a lower reading on the oil pressure gauge, but that doesnt tell you how good it is at protecting your engine

 

Just to say it's a 2-3 second burst no longer

 

Fuck me it was only the escos heat shield burning on the exhaust must have been moved when i got my afr gauge fitted and the wind blowing the smoke under the car and me thinking it was from the exhaust.

 

SECS monitor reading like that means one of 3 things

1) faulty secs monitor
2) faulty wiring
3) faulty Coolant Sensor

 

Was a hot day jim so got up to temp quickly.

 

sorry thought you meant it was giving bullshit readings

 

worth checking you havnt melted the rubber bush in steering cloumn if the heat shields caused an issue

 

phew!!

lol tho

 

Kev, did you go to spec savers in between seeing the problem, and finding the cause

Seriously though, glad its all sorted mate

 

Jimbo it was typical cossie paranoia

 

We all get it mate!!

You hear a knock and think "What the fuck was that "

 

Thank fook!! I thought it was just me with the paranoia

 

Try driving a cossie after you have had TWO go on fire! Thats fuckng paranoia! Any steam, fog, dust and im crapping it
