Well, interestingly enough, my car will somehow smoke coolant when i get on the brakes REALLY hard... like somehow its splashing on the intake and getting sucked in, no other time does it do this, i wonder how its getting there?

Thats the oddest **** I've ever heard. But somehow what you said makes sense. Let us know if you find anything new...

you may have a leak that puddles up somewhere on the engine, maybe the turbo coolant lines, then when you make the hard stop it causes it to spill over onto the turbos or exhaust

twinturborx7pete 09-09-2002 08:30 AM

i'll definatly check that, the coolant lines for the turbos are brand new, i'll double check that they are tight and not leaking, since they are such a bitch to get on/off

man its getting worse!!!



i just rebuild this SOB too, but i'm sure its not entering the engine through seals, but through the turbos/intake some how,



i parked the car for like 30 min, then went to start it and nothing but white smoke out the back, just horrible white smoke, the car wouldn't even run!!! i had to keep pumping the gas to get all of it out, then it finally cleaned up and started running right, then it never smoked the whole way home, its getting really really ****** odd, and my exhaust idling in my garage is straight fuel smell, no hint of coolant, i'm getting really paranoid and pissed off, anyone have any possible ways this could be happening?!

twinturborx7pete 09-09-2002 11:33 PM

Dude I hate to say it but it sounds like something didn't go back together right. You are going to have to take her apart again and see whats going on in there.

twinturborx7pete 09-11-2002 08:10 AM

i know its not internal, i'm pretty sure its the lines that run to the turbos, i didn't use new copper o-rings like the manual said to do.. the car doesn't smoke all the time as would indicate a coolant o-ring failure. Its puddling up somewhere and i have a leak that is on the passenger side of coolant. very small but there... so i'm sure it is on the turbo lines, i'll find out later today and keep you posted as to my findings.. wish me luck!
