Thread: Recommended turbo Mechanic that know MPS

  1. Unhappy Recommended turbo Mechanic that know MPS

    Hi All

    Had my MPS for a few years now and noticed in the last month or so that it was chewing up the oil pretty bad

    took it to my mechanic and he said that I need to take it to a Turbo specialist as he thinks that it is causing the
    white smoke to come out of the exhaust

    Anyone know of a good mechanic preferably in the South East suburbs in Melbourne that will have good knowledge of these cars

    Its a Mazda 3 Series 2 MPS

    Any help would be great

    I use Keleman Motors in Geelong, they are mazda specialists, and very good. Still use them even though I'm northern suburbs these days. For south east I'm less sure but if you ask on the facebook groups you should get some helpful suggestions. One fellow Merv (?) comes strongly recommended, can't remember full name off top of my head I believe he's an MPS specialist.

    The fault you are describing could be failed turbo seals, or blocked turbo oil return line... My first thoughts given you are being referred to a turbo specialist. It's a relatively common issue although I only saw it myself at 250000Km due to coked up oil return line rather than turbo seals.

    I feel confident recommending Kelemans although they are a long way from you on the east side.
