Lots of smoke coming from exhaust

[boostin6mps]

sounds like oil is pushing through the turbo seals... causing smoke to me.... ?

Noticed the smoking issue on my 6MPS becoming more obvious in the last 6 months. Smokes when idling for more than 2 minutes after starting, particularly when it's been parked for a while.

Mentioned the smoking issue to Mazda at last service and they got back to me the next day offering to replace the turbo, despite being out of warranty. Didn't have to prove my case at all so obviously it's a well known issue to them now.

Thats great to hear Not all dealers are the devil spawn, some are actually quite reasonable and nice

Great stuff.
Care to tell us which dealer that was?

Jason Mazda @ Osborne Park. It was Mazda Australia that agreed to it after the dealer sent in details of the issue. Guess having a full service history and keeping things stock (till recently) helped my cause.

Nice mate!

Good to know there are some decent dealerships out there.

Oil smoke and glycol coolant smoke smell vastly different. It's more likely oil smoke as discussed in previous posts above. But it will take you 5 minutes to check the levels of both.

It's been a week since the smoke, haven't seen smoke since... and I haven't changed anything on my car, hmmm.
