TallicaDave Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hi everyone. a little bit about myself. I'm a Air Conditioning engineer and have always driven a Ford from my first M reg Escort 1.4 to a 01 fiesta and nowIi have a 04 1.8 Focus TDCi sport. I have recently had problems with my focus. The turbo recently failed pulling in all the oil through the sump leaving me on the side of the road with thick white smoke coming from the exhaust. I have had the turbo replaced but now the performance is reduced and after about 15 minutes of driving I'm still getting some white smoke coming out of the exhaust. I have been advised from the mechanic that changed my turbo that it could be due to my catalytic converter being blocked from the oil that went through it and my exhaust. Before I go ahead with changing my cat i would appreciate abit of advice as to what could be causing this after a damaged turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 When a turbo goes and burns the oil you will get a lot of unburned oil in the exhaust. A clogged cat will certainly be one result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveD Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Im afraid your cat is dead. Your next MOT should confirm this, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
