For the past 3 weeks, my coupe has been blowing blue smoke from the exhaust when starting up from cold and continues until the engine has walmed up. After being told the turbo is shagged, i managed to source a replacement with only 40k miles on it.
Well, after having the replacement for a little under a week, it was time it needed fitting. While being fitted, i've noticed a crack in the manifold (which i've suspected since i got it) which is going to pt a dent in my wallet but for now i'll have to make do. After 6 hours, the turbo swap was complete and took it for a test run. Alas! No smoke! The Coop's sorted!
A big thankyou to pete aka Fixitagaintomorrow for fitting it for me Mucho appreciated!! I shall come bearing gifts when i pop down next time .
