si0797 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Morning all, last night I returned to the land rover fold! on my way home after purchase I stopped at an island white smoke was pouring from exhaust, i assumed it was oil left from brand new turbo being fitted, so carried on my way but it didn't stop, when car is on boost from turbo smoke gets better almost gone, then when slowing boost goes, white smoke comes back and envelopes the car!! when you restart the car its ok and doesn't smoke ,as if pressure has been released and its fine then when boost comes back in and you decelerate it smokes again!! so my first thought was the breather is blocked....nope its fine, so next intercooler top hose off, fresh oil all through the hose, so am I correct in thinking that its going to be a seal in the turbo or am I missing something? Really need some help as this car is now the only one I have! its a 200tdi with 13000 miles and sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si0797 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 ok,upon further works!i have swapped the turbo for a known good one and problem is the same,so now I am thinking its the head causing it to build pressure causing the issue steam? is it worth me taking of the head? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Compression and / or sniff test the coolant. If it is that much you can probably see bubbles in the header tank, or smell coolant in the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Smell the exhaust. Does it smell like coolant or diesel. That is step 1. - Coolant, pull the head and see if the gasket went. - Diesel. Check timing. Could have moved or belt jumped a tooth. Check injector spray patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormey Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I had this recently, did timing and it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yostumpy Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 previous owner may have swapped turbo in a bid to stop smoke, maybe thinking the seals had gone. Failed to cure it, so sold it! any water loss, if it smoked that bad, I doubt there would be any water left in it. Therefore as others have said, timing.
