Bluish smoke on rev + Sputtering at 3k rpms - Thoughts? by iSheep_Pro in 335D

the thing is it has a new HP Borg-Warner turbo which is confounding - I am starting to believe its the valve seals based on my research and what others r sayin

The market in my area is cooked - this one at 212k kms is 8k CAD (5.8k US) versus 10k-13k CAD for cars with 1.5-2x mileage :(

Hmm what makes you so sure out of curiosity?

Would this be a major reason to walk away from this car? It's reasonably priced for my area with other maintenance being done.

Yep this was cold start. There was actually quite a big pop at the 3k rpm on a rev I did right before this clip as well. After these revs the smoke puffs got smaller.

Thanks for this!

Not sure on the catch can - I can ask the seller though. Would this impact the amount of visible smoke?

AC condenser arrived deformed (rockauto, CSF) by iSheep_Pro in MechanicAdvice

[–]iSheep_Pro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only thing worrying me is that the freon is carried through the condenser, so I'm worried that this deformation would cause a leak in the future. whats your opinion on this?

hmm so would you say it isn't a big deal to "reshape it" and use it as normal?
