Hi all,
I have a R56 Cooper S N14 with a little problemo
The car itself runs perfect, no fault codes etc. turbo kicks in and the car flies as expected, no whine no hesitation, it's the dream N14 however:
At idle I get a smell of burnt oil through my vents, hit recirculate and it's gone.
After a long idle around 10mins on take off I throw out a plume of blue smoke for a minute and then back to normal.
Just had an oil leak on the turbo replaced, replaced the valve cover gasket also. The oil I check and change religiously and there's no noticeable loss other than the expected.
So I'm at a bit of a loose end as to what the problem is, could it be the PCV, should I just replace the unit all together or could it be the turbo that needs replacing?
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. I know the N14 is a SOB but other than this issue its been a beaut
