URGENT oil pressure stop engine

[Andy]

Ooh good sign it runs

I know there's smoke but I'm seriously over the moon. 

I know it's a bit premature but I'd like to say a massive thank you to @dazza @doylebros @rich83 @Dan_FR @rich83 @Pudding @r5gtt for helping to get me to this point. I'm sure I've missed others but don't think I'm not incredibly grateful, I am!

Now to find out where the smoke is coming from...

[rich83]

thats very promising. 

[Paulo P]

That's amazing news, you really got lucky there mate  I shouldn't imagine the smoke is anything too serious, check for hoses or belts rubbing on something.

[dazza]

Great! Fingers crossed.

[doylebros]

Well done Pesky - the smoke Is it from the exhaust tail pipes or engine bay.

If from the engine bay you have to remove all excess oil from the strip down first from all areas then recheck if you got any leaks cam box cover is common.

[Dan_FR]

Awesome news. Keep an eye out for misfires on VCDS.

Where is the smoke coming from? Engine bay or exhaust?

[Pesky jones]

Engine bay. At the back behind the engine cover near the maf sensor.

I will go over it carefully and check for oil specifically at the back where the smoke is coming from.

And then go over it with vcds

[doylebros]

Get your self a tin of carb cleaner or brake cleaner (aerosol type) and remove the residue with that it, speeds everything up but not with the engine running.

If it's the cam box cover take it off and look at the gasket in case you nipped it then retorque as per the cover sequence.

Well done @Peskyjones 

[r5gtt]

Congrats mate will message when I get back to England as it's costing a fortune right now 

[Pesky jones]

Ive got a big can of aerosol disc brake cleaner, but I bought it for my mountain bike, hopefully powerfull enough.

Do you mean the vaccum pump cover on the chain cover or the cam chain cover itself? Il check there but it looked like it was coming from the area behind maf sensor.

The most common problem it's the cambox cover or Rocker cover with the rubber gasket and bolts with little seals - to many people over tighten them and distort the gasket but clean it all before you remove any thing and try not to get it to hot till you find if you have any leaks - little bit of oil makes a lot of smoke.

outstanding, better then Ed china.......

[pudding]

Great news!

Yeah the smoke is a bit of oil spillage onto the exhaust manifold I'd say. Should clear up eventually.
