Hi all,

This has been bugging me for several months.

I just finally replaced the pcv and it is still blowing smoke from the exhaust smells of burning oil fumes. Cant smell it with windows closed. And not from the AC.

Its not constant smoke its a puff (light greyish) when i rev to 3000 rpm. Or when driving off from a stand still. Sometimes alot of smoke puffs out at once.

No error codes what could be the culprit?

Thanks

Would you have a part number for both turbo and valve seals so i can look at purchasing them?

Im looking around online for them but not quite sure if they are the right parts that i found

I do not but you need a proper diagnosis from a shop who can actually inspect what's going on

You can visit RealOEM.com and identify part numbers. But there is no substitute for a thorough inspection by a qualified shop.

Like the others have said, it's best to pinpoint the source before you start swapping parts. It's pretty expensive to work on the turbo because it's buried under half the engine parts. 9 hours of labor to change a 12$ oring... Don't bother until you know it's definitely necessary
