Hey you may have read some of my threads over the last few days asking for help and advice.

I promise this will be the last one.

I have fitted my new turbo, TMIC , fuel pump, and up pipe over the weekend.

I started the car up last night to idle for a while to let the oil move around the engine again but ...

This is when I discovered some smoke coming from the turbo area. Not alot but enough - smells bad also .

The only thing I can think of is, burning oil that has came out when taking the old turbo off

Anyone think of anything else it could be ?

Thanks

The up pipe can smoke alot when there new until all the protection that stops them going rusty in storage burns off. Smells horrible to like burning paint.

Its normal

Thanks for the reply.

Well few options people have said over the two forums ( scoobynet and SIDC)

Maybe bad turbo
Uppipe burning
Spilt oil and coolant burning

Hi mate,the burning oil probably is from when you took off the old turbo.If this persists check the oil drain pipe make sure it's all fitted up tight(andy f advice) same happened to me LoL

Thanks bud. Will try check that tomorrow.

Where was your smoke coming from ? Oil drain pipe?

Another quick question ? Can I just use any type of coolant ? or does it need to be a certain type?

Do i fill both the coolant tank up the the wee tank just above the coolant towards the front of the car?

I use bluecol antifreeze but i suppose any decent antifreeze will do.
Its better mix the antifreeze 50/50 with warm water it stops you getting an airlock,it should take about 7ltrs to fill the full system and just top up the overflow

chris.mcd

Perfect mate just done that.

All ready to go for tomorrow .

Oh I cant wait

Hope everything goes smootly.
