    Would that be the cause of the white smoke or is that not related to it? Asking as already thrown enough money at it and I rather just completely change the engine on it than spend more time and money in this to find out it won't get repaired

    My gut instinct is saying one or more injectors are faulty, the CAYC units are unbelievably unreliable, Euro Car Parts have 5909 VDO units in stock which is £3.2 Million in parts on the shelf, you don't do that unless it is a big mover.

    Okay so even after cleaning all the pipes and putting everything back together the smoke unfortunately is still there. I have put the car back together now as I had enough of wasting my time on it and the garages who have better knowledge than me are all busy till next week so until then I'm twiddling my fingers!

    Worth mentioning when leaving it running and then turning the car off, If I out my finger inside the turbo (exhaust side) I can pick up oil on my finger... Maybe the oil is coming from somewhere and burning off on the turbo as it's hot which is causing white smoke? However the question is... Where is the oil coming from if it's a brand new turbo?

    Just doesn't make sense... I don't know if I should just stick a new engine into it and be done with it or waste more time opening unnecessary things.

    Thank you.
