KTASTRPHE Member 82 Member For: 19y 1m 12d Location: Perthoslavakia Posted 23/06/06 07:11 AM Share Posted 23/06/06 07:11 AM Well the T is in getting the valve springs replaced under warranty as I speak. They also had a look at the turbo while they were in there and said they found a fair bit of oil in the turbo too, but not to worry about it as it is normal. Is it anything to worry about? Is it normal? Its a 2003 BA with 43k on the clock (only serviced 2k ago)I did a search on here first, but didnt find anything useful.

(I'd be worried about that)Are you seeing blue smoke in exhaust?I guess there is insufficient info.Ask the dealer to be more specific.tom Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26352-oil-in-turbo/#findComment-397910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
