03 2.2DCi Excessive blue smoke - jonr3012
Hi, My Renault 2.2DCi started smoking excessively as well as having a lack of power. Coupled to that each time you out your foot down hard the Injection system light would come on, if you turned the engine off took out the card it would reset itself ?? Now not sure if these are linked, however after looking at some forums and talking to the garage that just serviced it we decided, after looking in the intakes ( lots of oil found there), that the turbo may have gone. Turbo seems to be a problem with this car !!, just bought second hand turbo and have had it fitted. The garage have just called to say that the smoke is as bad, when the blip the accelarator there is clouds of smoke - (blue) exits. So any ideas where this smoke could now be coming from and what should I do next, I want to get rid of this car ASAP. I have seen posts of people who have successfully gone to Renualt and received part funding for a repair, can anyone help out on that as well ?
Many thanks.
