306 DTurbo problem
Discussion
I picked one of these up on the cheap yesterday with the advert stating it needed attention to either the injectors or the turbo.
Went to view the car and there was a lot of blue/grey smoke while on idle. Seems to calm down after the engine has been warmed a bit though.
On the drive home, the car would occasionally rev itself while idling in traffic. The tach would rise to 6k and there would be a James Bond style smog screen left behind me before returning to normal.
Also I notice a clatter sometimes when changing from 2nd to 3rd gear which I presume is the turbo. Sounds like it is spinning up until I engage the clutch and it returns to normal. Again a lot of smoke is present upon this clatter.
Car has done 140,000 miles with no present service history on a P plate.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Im thinking something to do with oil maybe which could be causing the smoke etc. Maybe seals on the turbo? Maybe someone had a go at adjusting the fuelling or boost on the turbo and screwed it up.
Cheers guys
