So, had the huge cloud of smoke a high revving engine, earlier today.
Manage to stop the car after around 20 seconds and managed to drive the 1/2 mile home.
Now car starts fine and I can't hear any nasty noises. Ticks over OK, "STOP" light flashes as you'd expect.
Obviously it smokes a bit and I assume this is from the drawn in oil into the turbo, rather than an engine fault?
Actually, before this happened I did note that if the car was stationary but ticking over for a few minutes when you pulled away and accelerate normally that it did shift a bit of smoke out the exhaust (presumably that was a tell-tell sign).
So ready to order a new turbo (expressturbos.co.uk??), I have to take this out from below the car, I've been told...easy-ish job(?) and how long normally to remove and re-fit?
Many thanks
Steve
