Morgzz92 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Hi guys. I'm starting to get a little worried & paranoid now, so thought I'd see if anyone could rest my mind.. I gave my WRX an oil change last week. And oil filter & air filter. I put Millers CFS 10w40 fully synthetic racing eng oil in, which is expensive and supposed to be very good. I have noticed now that once the engine has first warmed up, if I'm sitting at traffic lights etc on idle, I can suddenly see lots of smoke. I realised last week that its my car. It's not blue. It's white / grey. Smells strong (racing smell). It really fires out for a while. But it does it a few times, after 20 minutes driving or so, it won't do it anymore. It also doesn't do it when, only was on idle. :/ any ideas? Thanks guys
Tidgy Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 If it clears when it warms up then i wouldn't worry to much. Just keep an eye on your fluid levels and if there ok then your fine 1
Morgzz92 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Posted July 18, 2016 OK cheers mate. I think it might be turbo on its way out though. It smells like burning oil, thinking turbo bearing / seal going. Letting oil through exhaust. it seems hesitant sometimes (turbo) boost. I might get it looked at. :-) thanks again.
