Hi all,
Just wondering if there's anyone on here with experience working on the T5 volvo lump in the focus.
Had it up on the North Coast drive at the weekend and it let out a few puffs of blue smoke when coming off boost.
So far I've taken the boost pipe off which connects to the throttle body which is completely dry no oil in sight.
I've heard the crank case breather pipe can become clogged up and cause issues like this so have a new one on the way.
Also heard about worn piston rings or bores. So have ordered a compression tester to help check this. The car only has 63k on it so I'm hopeful this isn't the case.
Turbo seals possibly? Don't really know how to check them would dropping the downpipe off and checking for oil splatters help?
Is there anything else I should be checking?
