No, I don't think it would - not unless so much oil was getting through it was affecting combustion in the cylinders | |

looks like a fair amount to fix then, just annoyin as a uk tt costs me 1300 to insure, a jap will cost me 2600 i want a uk and if it was simple problem i'd prob buy this one! bodywork etc. mint with 18's super drager etc.. | |

Either worn rings or valve stem seals/guides. Could be turbo problem too, but I have no experience with turbo engines | |

rev's dropping as car is smooth seem as tho that could be fixed ok, just the smoke i'm worried about. It was at night with a floodlight on car so i'm not 100% on colour, but to me it looked just dark / grey, and i smelt no oil. Say it was burning oil.. what would this mean? | |

could be the egr valve sticking, this causes my revs to drop sometimes and cut out. | |

U could always nip down to your local garage and ask them to do a CO and HC check. Overfuelling wouldn't cause it to cut out unless it was really severe. R u sure it's not burning any oil? | |

with knackered turbo's would that cause it to smoke on idle though ? as they aren't being used? | |

see fuel is a defo possibility, it smokes on idle, but smokes ALOT when revved, indicates maybe not turbo as if smokin on idle turbo's not being used. There is not a excessive petrol smell though that's the thing. just smells like any turbo car that's been decatted. | |

i wouldnt worry much about the rev's dropping, things like that are easily solved | |

ignition coil would misfire or not turn over tho... | |

Overfuelling? - if it's running very very rich, you'd get grey smoke. Check temperature sender (might not be picking up that the engine's warm, thereby continually enriching up the mixture when it doesn't need enriching. Check lambda sensor too. Might be telling the ECU the engine's running lean when it's not and over-fuelling. What do the exhaust fumes smell like? Excessive petrol smell indicates over-fuelling. Also check spark plugs for signs of over-fuelling. And what about fuel consumption? | |

the thing thats wierd is that it could be simple, ie ICV fucked, need cleaning or replacing as it isnt catching the rev's. the smoke could be overfueling. i'm just confused as it is sooo smooth then suddenly cuts out, and smokes a bit on idle | |

does the black/grey smoke not signify knackered turbo | |

thing is, with my experience of gone head gaskets, u'll get the white / blue smoke out exhasut not a grey / dark smoke + u'll get a coolant smell and the car would still run it wouldn't start run fine then cut out, normally i would think the dark / grey smoke would be overfueling but it smelt a bit to much but not over fueling enough to turn smoke or cut out just smelt like it had no cat | |
