remember that with the turbo in cold short runs it will spew gunk up everywhere in the induction.... this of course is where oil catch cans were invented.. in this cold condense weather the turbo doesnt like it. get a catch can in that line to the induction and your problems will be solved.


happens ALOT with turbo centos.

Doesn't just happen with turbo cars it will happen to most on short runs. The LPG used to get it quite bad.

Take it for a long run and get plenty of heat through the engine and most of the water should evaporate out of the system.

Try Prestige Motor Engineers on Weaver Street (Behind Pets at Home), mate of mine's son was qouted £100 for a bit of welding on his Astra.

Well i dont know if this will be getting fixed anymore today on the way home from work the altenator belt and a pully fell off and the car started overheating reckon its gonna cost a fortune to get fixed .

Gutted mate. Fingers crossed its repairable!

Indeed, hope it's fixable.

thats a strange thing to happen, had any work done around the alternator recently?

hope its fixable

I havent had anything done to it recently but it was making a kind of sucking sound which i was told was the power steering pump. The garage i dumped it at said it looks like the water pump pulley siezed and came off the only thing i dont know is wether or not iv blown the HG i wont find out till next week now anyway as im away on holiday till thursday.

Well this is now for sale it needs a altenator belt and possibly a waterpump ( it overheats) im looking for £350 as is.

man, thats a shame. What you gonna go for next?
