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

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
