Renault Clio 1.5 2004 - White smoke when reved #

Posted by Bradley Kingsley on October 6, 2012, 10:56 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2004
Engine Size and Code *: 1.5 turbo diesel

Hi i have a 1.5 diesel clio in at the moment.

it came from auction so history is ???able!!

When it starts in the morning it starts fine but when revved high it smokes white oil smoke and lots of it!! You can drive it fine and it wont smoke unless you floor it. When the car gets warm it stops smoking whatever you do?

No codes present,,it still smokes with inlet pipe removed so turbo isnt in line with engine,, it starts well every time and there are no bad noises or other symptoms apart from smoke.

Im thinking rings or stem seals but not sure.

Any ideas??

"Any ideas??"

Search the forum !!

Then you will see, that after you have done the ring,s and guide,s next will be the big ends/ oil cooler/ turbo etc.

Pile of poo, unless serviced too a very high stadard.

It was in the auction for a good reason, most have been stung with these.

Kevin thanks for your reply,,

I have had a run in with a couple of these already but thought it was worth an unbiast opinion.

I have already suggested to my boss it should go back to where it was bought.

BUT before i got a chance to look at it he had 3 coil springs replaced and a few other things done putting him way out of pocket already,

its a lose lose situation.

Hi Bradley

As it is already knackered, you can now set about testing it to the nth degree & gain some product knowledge.

I find these kind of lost causes, the most beneficial when it comes to R & D.
