gunmetalzgt Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 My friend has a 530d m sport. his turbo blew and he had alot of smoke coming out the exhaust. the turbo has now been changed and the car is running like normal but there still smoke coming from the exhaust when the car is at a stand still. my question is: Is this normal and just oil slowly burning off in the exhaust? Could it be the head gasket gone? would a turbo failing damage the head gasket in any way? any help would be much appreciated from you techies!! Quote

More than likely there will still be excess oil in the Zorst and will soon burn off. If there are still emissions in around 100 miles then further investigation will be required. Finders crossed that this will not be required. Cheers, Alex. Quote
Darren-B Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 My mate had a similar problem in his X5, Had a replacement turbo and then lots of smoke, turned out to be some kind of breather hose buggered, was getting a lot of crankcase pressure Quote
johnnywas Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 was the new turbo bled properly as starting up the engine without the turbos been bled can nacker them in seconds,you should always make sure the turbos have oil,some guys remove the spark plugs and crank the engine over till their is oil pressure, Quote
gunmetalzgt Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 I presume the turbo was fitted properly as it was done by the pros. Quote
johnnywas Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 new turbo could be nackerd or drive the car and see wat others have said and hope it is oil in exhaust,if its not oil wat damage is getting done meantime,best bet would be to ask abbeymotorsport whos a member on here. Quote
