TURBO BLOWN??? - D Turbo Lyle - 23-07-2013
Hi people, just noticed that i have a bit of blue smoke when cold-starting my ph 2 1999 1.9 d turbo and a little bit here and there but mostly when the engine is cold and pulling away from junctions, theres not masses apart from a freezing cold start!! I have been losing/burning a minute amount of oil (i mean minute) also.. I thought it was the oil valve stem seals but after taking off the lefthand 2" pipe that leads to the intercooler iv noticed theres oil in there... not pissing out but its there!!
is my turbo f*cked? and are they a hassle to change? I would have to get a mechanic or some1 to do it as im a dumbass with that kinda stuff!

cheers, a few people said that there is usually some oily residue in the inter-cooler pipe from the turbo due to vapor collecting...mines just a wee bit of oil (pipe prob hasnt been off for years) maybe its not going afterall ..?? I was pretty sure its just the valve stem seals were just a bit miss shaped when cold as it goes away when the car is warmed up. The only blue smoke is just as i start the car for the 1st time of the day or if its left to go right cold again.

I think most xuds smoke all kinds of colours when they cold start!

Mine was doing this for about 25,0000 miles before the turbo finally stopped working, so i'd say you probably have some mileage left in it yet :p

I have not found a XUD yet without a oil residue in the intercooler!!!
