So im pretty mad. I noticed it this morning. I went in to pick up my son and left the car running. When i came back out there was a cloud of blue smoke around my car so i was like WTF.

I popped the hood just now and the turbo is covered in oil and so is the coupler that connects the IC pipe to the turbo.

Is this thing blown?

 

Bart, sorry to hear your car acting up, arent the turbo oil cooled sounds like its getting out of there some where Hope its some thing small

 

Our turbos are water cooled. It might be a blown seal but. Im 800 miles over 36k so i dunno whats gonna happen

 

Guess it was lubricated by the engine oil ?? seems like part of the drive train (motor) to me you should be ok

 

Should be covered under the powertrain warranty.

 

5yr/100k, but mods might be blamed for the failure.

 

They were gonna swap my trans when i blew it out but found that out after i ordered mine haha. Theyre good people at the dealer i go to they know whats done to my car. Shouldnt be a problem but i will know tomorow since everything is closed today.

 

That sucks. I had something similar happen with mine while driving. Was being followed to a meet by my guy. It was the turbo, 2 weeks with a rental and it was replaced. Happened at 13k on the car.

 

Damn i hope i wont be without a car for 2 weeks. The odd thing is that i just went outside and let it run for like 15 min and it didnt smoke at all.

 

Mine wasn't totally blown when it smoked, it had the oil line to the turbo kinked and then kinda died a slow and painful death after that. But I never saw any other smoke besides that one time with mine. I threw a CEL the next morning on my way to work.
