Hi
ive just joined didnt know that forums like this existed.Anyway i have a 98 2.5 tdi 5 cylinder 110 bhp LT there is a lot of smoke coming out of the exaust and im getting oil patches on the back doors,also it sounds like the turbo is whistling at top revs just before i change gear(it sounds a bit like the exaust is blowing)has any body had this problem and do they have a solution for it.

Many thanks

Hi, what's the milage on the engine?

It sounds like you are burning oil, check the oil level and see how much.

It could be the turbo on the way out, I think the seals can leak after high mileage, and the oil then ets burnt off in the cylinders, but if it's smoking and leaving oil up the back doors then you should notice a drop in oil level.

Hi
the milage is 150 k there dosent seem to be any drop in engine oil.a guy said it might be a hole in one of the the pipes leading to the turbo what do you reckon
