Title: Smoking engine
Post by: Mikey22 on January 05, 2012, 08:25:22 PM
Hey again,
 
Ok so finally got rex going again (leading from another thread) only to have another worrying problem.
 
After i have the engine running for a little while im finding that there is white smoke coming from the drivers side under the induction kit. Ive had a look down to see if i can find where its coming from but i cant see the origins. All i know is it must be the bottom of the engine.
 
Other symptoms include slightly higher reving (around 2000) and the exhaust doesnt sound too good. Lots of pops and bangs (more than normal)
 
Anyone had similar to this?
 
Many thanks
 
Mike

Yep I had this the other day but cleared up after running for 10 or so mins and settled down once it had heated up - it had been sat unstarted for about 2mths before this...

... but I know my turbo seals are going :S and get this most times its been sat for over a few weeks

does it clear up eventually once up to temp? does it start as soon as the cold car is started or after a few mins?
