Smoking and Turbo Seals

[Wardski]

Yeah, it's stock apart from the SRI.

In all fairness a Mazda mechanic at the Dyno Day in April 08 noticed it on my car at 4000km old and told me to take it in. It's now almost 30000km and only in the last 5000km or so has it turned into a smoke machine. This mornings effort was especially impressive!

I'll endeavour to take some video before I get it changed over and post it here.

Interesting.. On cold mornings you'll get a lot of condensation as well, which might seem to amplify the condition. Mine has only spit white smoke in winter. I get nothing in summer, so I dont think mine has failed..

Yeah true, but mine was doing it on the warm days also, yesterday was probably assisted by the weather (although car was in warm garage all night).

I will get a video of it, I'm not talking a little bit of smoke...this is thick plumes of the stuff, really quite impressive

Ive said it before, and will say it again. If your service centre doesnt listen to you, then change service centres.. They're all a pack of Bas-tards if you ask me
