Lots of white smoke from the exhaust, conclusion
« on: July 10, 2013, 09:46:16 am »
A Cupra with app. 90.000km on the clock came into the shop, it had recently had a stage 5 sintered metal clutch (app. 44.000km on it) replaced by a Loba stage 2 clutch with smf, now it had massive clouds of white oil smoke out of the exhaust.
After taking the engine apart it showed that the stage clutch's high pressure had pushed the crank sideways and kept it there, so when the weaker Loba clutch were fitted it allowed for axial play in the crank resulting in the balanceshaft to break and lots of debri in the oil  :sad1:






Over the top mod list ;o)
