    Default Could my turbo be going out ?

    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?

    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.

    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
