started my car up the other day, and left it to idle and warm up (stationary) for about 10-15 mins while i waited for the gf to stop chatting to the neighbour
anyway upon it warming up, white smoke started coming out of the exhaust, and not a slight bit of white smoke but a fair bit!
it has recently had an oil change and I know from many years ago that from over filling an escort for an oil change this could well be the case of it smoking?
the car has BF exhaust TB and 100 cell race cat. The car was RR recently and the graph was far from smooth due to the modifications my car has and the tuner informed me that due to the sensor in the cat it is compensating for fueling because the sensor is for the standard cat and as this is a 100 cell race cat, its reading higher quanities of air flowing through, then cutting back as this is over the standard paremeter so keeps compensating then cutting back so the graph is up and down as the power rises
So I am thinking its either over fueling or they have put too much oil in for the oill change?
anyone else have an idea? my worst nightmare is a cracked turbo or manifold ££££
