Yet again more questoins to ask on the same bloody engine  If i fill the oil up to proper level it will smoke (burning the oil i reckon) and then clear itself when it has roughly hit the lower level on the dipstick, after that it is clear and will not smoke again... Any ideas what this is? help appreciated please.  ________________________________________ A red rallye in progress! |

Sounds like you have too much crankcase pressure and so when the oil is full, some is being forced up past the oil control rings and being burnt.The cause of this is probably a blocked breather.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Cheers stan. I shall look at the breather tomorrow, hopefully looking like it's not the head gasket now. ________________________________________ A red rallye in progress! |

The part of the breather that you want to pay particular attnetion to is the gauze filter. This is found on one of the breather hoses going from the head to the throttle body. It looks like a round black "UFO" near the head. This can get blocked. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I think so, although it's so long since I had one on my car I can't honestly remember...Your issue has to be crankcase pressure though as it wouldn't burn a litre of oil and then stop burning it otherwise. If you had an engine which burnt oil, it would burn oil all the time. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Might be worth checking your dipstick is the correct one for car!!! When its down at the lower level and not burning oil/smoking what does your oil level gauge read on your dash when you start car up?  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Some people say that the oil level gauge on the dash isn't very accurate, but I find it extremely accurate... ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Bottom arm won't take long to change, although you say it "snapped"? What part of it exactly?  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
