TOYBUG Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi I have a Volkswagen ute with a EA82 mpfi turbo that seams to belch white smoke after the engine has warmed up eg 5 miniuts after start up I get a momentary loss of power and then woosh a large dump of smoke and the all is fine again .. there seems to be a wisp of smoke coming from the waste gate there is no noise, rattles etc to indicate turbo failure this problem seems to be getting worse and please no puns about it being a VW ..it leaves most cars for dead Ok second edition have found that left hand valve cover (tubo side) is pushing oil into the air intake through the breather hose any ideas on why?

Might be coolant getting in somewhere. Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
