I had a compression test done to my car today and the readings were

1 - 160

2 - 160

3 - 150

4 - 150

5 - 150

6 - 160

That seems ok to me but im still troubled with having petrol smelling water fill my catch tank quickly.

No signs of water mixing with oil that i can see

And heaps white smoke did come out of my exhaust not long ago. But its doesnt seem to be doing it again, even after a bashing on 1st and 2nd.

Cracked head? gaskets? What could this be?.

Thanks

no..

Was just thinking that its possible that the turbo seals or something have stuffed themselves, thereby leaking coolant, which is sucked back up the recirculation piping, and into the catch can.

Or its also possible, that if the car is kept outside, drives in the rain a lot, has a vented bonnet or something like that - that condensation could be forming on the catch can outlet.

Does he have a POD ? is the pod mounted under the bumper or something like that?

But just trying to give / guess some possibles.

Yes, vented bonnet. Im thinking more towards turbo seals shit it self. Due to the Smoke. Any way i can find this out without taking the car to a mech to have a look at first?. Can i just pull the turbo out and look for ... ??

Thanks for your help

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
