Yup, I shit the turbo. :|
Was driving to town this morning (to get a quote for DMF replacement lol), noticed it was pretty smelly and smokey (grey smoke) but it was a cold morning so I thought meh it'll clear......wasn't driving particualarly fast but did have to overtake a couple of bikes....and created so much smoke it was unbelivable, they couldn't see, by this point thinking theres something wrong...but carried on anyway!!
Got to the strand (under orwell bridge) and was billowing out smoke, pulled over up the oyster reach hill and theres smoke all over from under the bonnet (my cats leaking remember) through the vents, out the back etc etc....open bonnet and oh shit, theres oil splatted everywhere...turbos gone, oops.
Still drove it 12 miles home.....think the guy behind me has probably died of lung cancer by now though. :think:
So yeah, thought I'd brighten all your days and give you a chance to say 'told you so'.
