My car was flooded and i did the old ATF in the leading spark plug holes, and changed the spark plugs. when the problem was fixed i change my oil from 10w-30 to 20w-50 i didnt change the oil filter. and now the car is burning oil abnormaly (a **** load of smoke) the smoke smells like burn oil, but the car has about 50k miles and it runs very strong so i dont think that the apex seal are fucked. what do you guys think might be the cause?



p.s s5 turbo engine

 

my gess is maybe the turbo is fucked, but i drive it and there is not any power loss

 

i checked out the compressor side of the turbo and their was a small bit of play on the compressor wheel. could that cause the smoke??

 

does any one online sell a rebuilt kit for a hitachi turbo?

 

is it smoking all the time? just under boost?

 

all the time man it smoke at idle, and when im under boost it smoke much more.

 

What colour is the smoke?

 

blue and it smells like burn'd oil

 

could the oil metering pump (i think that is what it is called) be stuck open pumping too much oil into the rotor housing?

 

omp, any other ideas what it could be ??

 

hitachi tubos use a t3/t4 rebuild kit. just google it there are a couple site that sell them. As for the smoke, have u looked at the exhaust side of turbo? Could be rear seal, how much oil quart an hour? or just a bit, i my self run premix so i dont know how much the omp squirts in there.

 

il pull the down pipe and report the findings.

 

also might be a blown oil control o ring. I also have the same problem as you. I swapped the turbo with another turbo and it still smoked. No oil residue on the turbine side of the turbo nor the downpipe. I also checked the crankcase ventilation and it still smoked. So im leaning towards a rebuild in the future

You can try removing the oil filler cap and starting the car, and see if that stops the smoke. If it stops smoking then it has something to do with your pcv.

 

ok so i check out the turbo, exhuast side an i didnt look like there was much oil around the area but it smell like ultra burn oil smells realy bad, like very burned oil.

 

i pulled out the oil filer cap and started the car, and i still smoked. could it also be valves that are colored blue, gray, tan??

 

Too much is an understatement there Alex your next door neighbor called the fire department.

 

How long did the ATF stay in your engine?
