Lol, this thing spellcheck is a nightmare !! yes Bootle!

Hi, I'm in Wallasey haven't got myself fully up to skill with locations for lanes the info out there is so confusing at times.

Hi, a bit of a delay on this one, I'm on the dark side of the water, new Brighton ! But do travel every day to Bottle!

Hi, I'm from Albufeira when I lived there I was driving Jeep Safari for years and do know quite a bit of portugal on many trips, you will have a great time. Watch out to the local police (GNR) and the sneaky speed traps not the most polite out there. :mad: I'm flying out tomorrow with...

Good ideia guys, Portugal is a great place for laning without all the troubles like in the UK and evil looks, don't forget to have a go at the local food and wine you will be amazed how nice it is. Prepare the Landy for some hot temperatures can easy reach 42c inland with no wind and lots of...

Update. Disco now running perfect, no more smoke when cold, so here isa list what me and my brother done. Time belt P gasket water pump replaced turbo oil change new filters all round new coolant Clean intercooler bushes replaced on rear trailing arm new tyres maxis MT 215 85 16 tweaked...

Good luck with the replacement, I'm due to do the same as you and replace the turbo same symptoms as you, loads smoke in the morning and I also have a loud "whistle" when the turbo kicks in. As said the intercooler should be fine just clean it. Good luck.

Update, What I noticed now is on deceleration mainly when cold it puffs a lot white smoke very noticeable, last weekend took the intercooler off no damage, all the hoses replaced, noise still the same, a lot white smoke in the morning for the first couple miles, I just drive it very slow so I...

Update Looked inside the turbo with a mirror blades look fine, one minor mark in one blade. Checked all hoses again and decided to order a full set bearmach ones, run out time to run the engine with the intercooler hose off. In work need to work late so no time for the garage to have a look...

Hi Vince, Yes I will make sure I do that and to be honest going to get new set of silicon hoses and will clean everything properly.

Thanks guys, I will run the engine with the hose off as blue beasty said and report back. Either way Tuesday will go to my local garage.

Thank you for the replies guys. There is loads oil at the bottom of the intercooler when I took the bottom pipe off started to drip I know build up of oil is normal but I think this is excessive. Double checked all pipes connections and the other small pipes no holes on the intercooler...

Just read in here and there a danger of this becoming a runaway i.e sucking engine oil up through to the turbo, lots of black smoke and unstoppable! Better thing to try and do is stall the engine in gear just by using the brakes. All my symptoms seems to match this before it happens, lol.

Forgot to say no water loss, after the weekend run I noticed slight drop on oil level more than usual as the weekend before done a good run with no noticeable oil loss. Exhaust is perfect recently fitted decat pipe had a proper look underneath.

Thank you guys for your replies, the whistle is very noticeable and I can say loud, reading online some people seem to suggest when a loud whistle start that will a perished oil seal internally and excessive oil loss and oil building inside the intake, my mate has a 300tdi and no noticeable...
