Thanks. I'm trying to get my head around it. I've had to swap my turbo because it had been passing quite a considerable amount of oil into my intercooler and the air intake, so much in fact that it was creating little puddles of oil in the manifold. I haven't cleaned the intercooler out yet, so that is still going to be flooded with oil at the bottom, which will find it's way into the intake manifold. It is still smoking quite considerably on start up too (due to oil in the air intake). It runs smooth when warm though with perhaps a slightly faster idle than usual (burning hot oil). I'll clean it all up and see how it goes.

I think I've just kind of answered my own question! Cold oil with cold engine burns lumpy with lots of smoke (a little like starting on veg oil on a cold day) and then my engine ticks over slightly higher when warm as it is burning the hot oil.-Pos

better off removing the intercooler and cleaning it with brake cleaner as the oil can block the holes could be why its running lumpy

I'm going to take it out tomorrow morning and give it a good clean with some petrol or some diesel (don't have anything else around here!) and then use my sisters hair drier to burn it off! Last time I cleaned it out, I used petrol and a hair dryer to burn the fumes off and I was met with plumes of smoke

Sorry to hijack,
anyone give me a couple of lines on why a standard 1.4 non turbo 4pot 04 megane engine would have oil in the airfilter. myns running lumpy on idle, took it apart, bout 'normal' mug of tea's worth of oil in plastic cousing.
Cheers.
Good luck with you issue.
