i am probably the most mechanically retarded person ever and don't trust myself to rebuild a turbo.at all. did this about 4 months ago, blowing smoke now , took me months to trackthe smoke problem down. would prefer a brand new one that will last me for about 6 months as opposed to something...

thank you, msgd him about postage prices ,probably be to much with postage though....guess il just wait for a high flow to come up for sale in Sydney if it doesnt work out with albert definitely will , but dont have the money to fork out for intake , exhaust , manifold , injectors , fuel pump...

Advice taken Albert is in America isn't he? Postage is going to kill me :(

comes with a year warranty. only need it to run for 6 months or so

So my stock ct26 is rooted , need a replacement but my engine is run in and I want something with a bit more puff and flows a bit more then the stock ct26 Ive seen the 57trim from Driftmotion,but I live in Sydney and the postage makes the amount unrealistic.(over AU$1000) Will be spending...

yup , thanks of that guy who came to do the leakdown test ( and i took a frickin day off work for this) thought I said compression test and didnt bring the proper tools. This after i spoke with him and said leak down test a number of times. So that didnt get done. Out of frustration I went and...

ok quick possibly stupid question. I know this is unlikely but after checking EVERYTHING im clutching at straws here , so ..I stumbled accross this : "When my coolant temp sensor was going I was getting what looked like white smoke from the exahust during idle only... revving it would go away...

assumptions are the mother of all fuck ups. unfortunately you dont know the trouble ive been through trying to get my 7m looked at by a real mechanic in Sydney and I wont go in to why its difficult.

why thank you IAN , wanted to put them into the correct sections (turbo ques , auto ques , engine ques) etc but I guess this way is preferable? :)

So Ive been blowing white smoke , only when warm ever since my oil change (detailed in another post) Ive heard there's a vacuum line on the valve and when the diaphragm in the valve goes bad the engine sucks AT fluid into the intake. Is this true? If so where on my A340E would i find my...

Does this look like acceptable shaft play-CT26? http://s1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd484/aloshandookie/?action=view&current=video-2012-02-12-14-33-59.mp4

yes but ive done this numerous times already. Did heavy accelerations. This problem only started happning after my first oil change after the rebuild. Been driving about 300km since this problem occurred , so rings should have bedded by now or excessive oil should of been burnt off....

did not do the rebuild myself ,was done by someone experiences with the 7m. Not sure what the bore learances where at. Yes I was babying it and driving it to and from work (20km is each) twice a week. Dont baby it as much now though but still dont thrash it due to the white smoke problem...

so removed the dump pipe today. didnt seem to be any visible oil : Towards cat and muffler - no blockage Just the usual amount of smoke appearing after the dump pipe was removed. Didn't seem to be extremely white or excessive , just normal exhaust fumes. How can this be...

thanks for that.about to purchase it , is it possible to replace all the hoses with the engine in the car or impossible?

is it difficult to replace all hoses if the engine is still in the car

thanks for all the help guys , will definitely be doing a pressure test. Yes every 7m owner goes to BHG as their first thought ESPECIALLY if they see coolant.... will also replace the coolant hose on the turbo side of the head underneath the CPS does anyone have a pic of this , link of this...

hmm , thanks for the suggestions guys , expected the obligatory " you have a BHG ,do compression test and report back" responses.

So this morning I decided to fill more oil as my car has been burning oil recently(discussed in another thread) SO I warmed the engine up , filled oil. Drove along for about 20min , moderate driving , my temp gauge starts going up I pull over and there's coolant dripping onto the ground...

-battery might be screwed , take it to an auto parts store and get it tested - alternator might be drawing current went off due to f*cked diodes , confirm this isnt happening - lastly (what took me 5 months to figure out) check your relays and make sure none of them are stuck open failing this...
