Hi
My wife's TD4 (2.0d bmw engine) got a bit carried away last night
she said it was making a funny noise, and blowing a bit of white smoke out the exhaust. she asked her dad to have a look, gave it a little rev twice the second time it took off white smoke everywhere, ignition key out, kept on running for around 5 mins.
I guessed it could be turbo seals allowing oil in to the inlet, but the only check i've had chance to do it the oil level, and its over filled way above the top of the max marker. i know it was not overfilled at all when i last serviced it. Also it's dumped most of the coolant on the road but not sure where from.
any educated guesses at the cause, and the chances of the engine internal having survived?
edited coolants all over the road, no sign of it in the sump
Thanks Rick
