right, my fiesta has fooked it self AGAIN lol. THe turbo has just been replaced and the car was running fine. However the oil return from the turbo split and let the oil drain till the oil pressure light came on which is when i realised!

Anyway the car was running ok till i took it on the motorway, when it started puffing blue smoke ONLY when i backed off or cahnged gear and ONLY when i came on boost. Was told this is piston rings?

Anyway driving quite quickly back next to a cossie also driving quickly i hit high revs in 5th gear and it started to misfire, became REALLY laggy and now smokes when labouring the engine or when it comes on boost. Between 2.5-3.5k it doesnt smoke AT ALL until you back off again?!

Also the oil breather has been breathing REALLY heavy, so would the piston rings be most likely to blame? Or maybe turbo?

ITs still missing like a bitch and the plugs have been checked, a couple were covered in oil so would this indicate piston rings and therefore show the reason for the misfire?

Any advice please!

 

Sounds like turbo. Take it off and get it checked out....

 

ya forgot ya melted the tip on one of em and the cossie wasnt going that fast as it couldnt do over 120mph due to it having a fooked alt and running off a batt from a escort cabrio


btw the smoke only happpened on the way there, wasnt happening before nad is really bad now


its deffo oil smoke too and also oil comming out the zorst as it fooking covered the rear window of his car and also my fooking car when i was following the slow fooker on the way there

 

sounds like turbo..........but they don't make em breath heavy, thats rings

 

it dont smoke on idle either !!!!


i hope it aint the turbo as hes just bought that and it was fooking mint mint mint

 

wet and oily or just black????

because if they were that wet and oily, take the turbo to i/cooler hose off and see if its wet and oily, if it ain't, it aint the turbo

 

browny oil on the rear screen and black wet oil on mine

jsut had the fooking car washed too

 

i meant the spark plugs not the cars

 

think i saw that , me and my mate thought it had wd40 all over the rear screen

hope you sort it pal

 

number 4 was coverd in wet oil ( and smoked when took the plug out and number 3 had started to mel tbut think thats more to do with the 130ish run for a nice distance untill he had the missfire

 

check the hose and get a comp check done on the engine

Pugo

PS buy better plugs

 

yeah that i agree with too


hence why he now has one of my new ones in it

 

Well actually its started smoking on idle as well. gonna check the i/c to turbo hose as i really aint sure on that turbo!

 

the rings went on my fiesta. high crankcase pressure caused the oil to blow past the rings and out the oil breather too. only smoked on idle until it got really bad where i could notice it when backing off and seeing it out of my mirrors!

hope its not your turbo as well!
