Right i thought the oil return was blocked makin oil go into the turbo pipes on my s2 erst so cleaned it out after replacing all the pipes and takin it 4 a little spin i checked the pipes again now there full of light brown oil im hoping the head gasket aint gone im thinking that the oil seals have gone in the turbo but does any1 know if they go that trhere must be seals 4 the water with it being water cooled that they might have gone asd well
any help would be great cheers in

khanny

also theres smoke coming of the turbo or the manifold like its burning it of if u touch wiv oilly hands but seems to be doing it 4 ages

If i was you id be hoping the seals aint gone in the turbo rather than the worrying about the headgasket headgasket is about £30 a turbo rebuild is £350+ do a compression test on the headgasket takes about ten min's mate then you'll know if the gasket is fucked or not

khanny

YE cheers m8 i have to buy some sort of gauge to do that dont i m8

SafeChav

Oil in the pipes will be the turbo.

khanny

HI AGAIN M8, YE BUT THERES WATER WITH IT AS WELL I WAS THINKING THE OIL SEALS IN THE TURBO HAve defo gone so do you think the seals for the water chambers to cool the turbo could have gone to make the water mix with the oil

SafeChav

The only way oil can mix with coolant from the turbo is if its crakced.

Not being funny mate but i did tell you long ago to have a compression test done, your taking guesses and thats usually a fairly good way of wasting money on things that you don't need.

khanny

Ye i know what u saying m8 but only money ive spent so far is for that turbo but solt it and got my money back, be rights i think im just guessing tho tryin to think its things that its not i think im just going to let a mechanic have a look befoere i do spend anything on it

SafeChav

Have u bought the service kit yet?

khanny

na m8 i sent u a pm to see what u thought and which kit i needed did u not get it m8

antony215

Is there ALOT of oil in the pipes or just a bit??

khanny

loads m8 i only drove 1/4 mile as well

antony215

You maybe lucky and the headgasket and the oil seals may be fucked then if you've got ALOT of what looks like

in your pipes
Do a compression test(or take it to a garage and they will do it for you) mate then you will know for sure weather your headgasket is gone or weather the water way in the turbo is cracked ect.. it's a process of elimination mate but you ALWAYS!! start with the cheapest things first because like safechav said guess work can just become an expensive hobby

khanny

ye cheers m8 just right that it looks just like bailys lol

rick25

i had same prob i changed turbo never solved it.it ended up being the crank.i had oil in my pipes and coming out of d/v plus smoking.hope it isnt that mate.

Aaroncast

How many miles on the car/engine?? any photos of engine bay??! forget the turbo for awhile -start with a cylinder pessure test- remove plug insert tester and turn over( remove center ht lead so it just turns over and wont fire up/run). make a note of the reading, then do each one in turn, its no good sorting a tuRbo problem out if its the head gasket etc----------DO AS YOUR TOLD KHANNY-LOL- KEEP HAPPY IT'LL GET SORTED-speak soon.

khanny

SafeChav

Go to halfords, they sell a Gunson compression tester for a fair price!

khanny

davecosworth
