Smoke coming out of the engine :(

[Nez]

Hi all just need some help guys today after check the oil and water on the car I open the boot and I saw a little smoke coming from the corner of the engine where is the turbo house on left side and then after few min's it stopped and then again it started

There is no error code and engine runs fine with no problem so what it could be guys anyone had this problem with their car ?

Here is the picture and I mark it where the smoke coming from

could be a rocker cover gasket gone, mine was the same until i changed the seal and now all is cool. try seeing if you have any oil leaking

Camshaft chain tensioner leak?

 

[Mr K]

is replacing the tensioner a cam-out job? as my chains make a noise some mornings for a moment when i first start it up. i presume whilst the tensioner pressurises.

2nd that. The smell should be fairly obvious if it is oil leaking and dripping onto the turbo.

I checked for oil leak but found nothing but there is oil burn smell and I also I washed the part where it was smoke with water and now it stopped

 

[audinary]

My engine bay stunk of burning oil the first night I drove it home. Turns out the guys in the workshop had filled the oil from a watering can without a funnel none too accurately.

Your right mate today I took the car to garage for the Cam Belt service and the garage call me that the tensioner was leaking very badly too so they had to change it too plus with the tensioner house

OUCH !! Sounds expensive .

Tho it could have been worse, could have been from a turbo GULP !

Everything is done and the smoke is gone thanks alot guys for all the helps :thumbsup:

Cost me £370 everything which I think its cheap for the job done

 

[GSB1]

Very cheap, sounds like a result. Considering the labour involved that is a really good deal.

For 370, I think they just changed the tensioner gasket.

No man they change the all thing not just the Tensioner gasket They changed the Tensioner, Timing belt, and all other things that gets change with timing belt service

Well, the camBELT tensioner does not have a gasket. I guess they de-tensioned the
belt, did the gaskets on the cam tensioners (mechanical devices to adjust cam position
- S4 has VVC) and rocker cover, then put on a new belt and belt tensioner. The reason
I commented was that new mechanical tensioners are about 300 quid each. You still got
a good deal at that price if they replaced the cambelt.

What I have in the invoice are these:

Timing Belt Kit
Water Pump
Auxillery Belt
Auxillery Tensioner
Anti Freeze
Tensioner House

All that for £370

Yep, belt tensioners. That is still an absolute bargain though.

Car sound great now and I don't have to worry about the belts
