Could my turbo be going out ?

[ej1boy93]

this only happens sometimes. maybe every other day or so. but my car likes to smoke when im at idle or just sitting and letting my car run. could this mean my turbo is going out?

[tdurr]

it could, do you have an oil restrictor on ur turbo? and how is ur oil drain set on the car?(pics of the drain set up would be great)

Sounds like you have a left-handed shift pattern. Bottle of Slick 50 and you should be fine.


It's like a mechanic in a bottle.

Check your tire pressure it may be to low on one side.

























Dude so many things can cause a car to smoke just dont assume one thing at random.

from what a friend just experienced with his, check the gaskets etc. he just had a mad amount of oil get into the exhaust housing which burnt it up. tdurr can help you a lot though
