I think i might be in a bit of #!:>
Today i just did abit of a road trip to another town that is like
400km away. As i was arriving back home i was running out of fuel and i had the litlle fuel indicator blinkin sayin that i had low fuel. Now lucky i made it to a servo to fuel up. for a while i was runnin on the very close to empty but i dont think thats my problem.
The actual problem i think is that when i made a stop over to a mate place the hood was smokin,so i opened it up and it appeared that my turbo was smokin. It was a white smoke.
Can anybody tell me if my turbo is stuffed. Im still able to drive at the moment and i can feel any power lose but im really worried bout this smoke???

Probably just a bit of an oil leak where the oil line connects to the turbo. Try putting a spanner on it and tightening it a bit. Don't over do it though. If it's not that, it might be leaking between the exhaust housing and the core like mine does. It makes quite alot of smoke but that's because my turbo seals are stuffed.
