Noble gto 3 is smoking

[George Reay]

Can anyone advise. Noble gto 3 is smoking when reved hard. Also lacking in power, could it be coil pack breaking down or similar.

What colour is the smoke?

Blue smoke would suggest oil is being burnt, which is normaly more mechanical type things.

Someone will be along in a second who is not making it up.

Coil pack problems would cause missfire, could your turbos be playing up?

[George Reay]

Noble drivers! has anyone had there turbo oil catch tank full? Would this cause smoke from exhaust and lack of power.

What is the turbo oil catch tank?

[Gadgeroonie]

A blocked breather would cause it to smoke. But a blocked breather is not a good sign

It's the thing that fills up when something else has gone wrong.

Sounds like a compression test is in order , could also be a turbo failure .

Either way not good .

Ahh, you mean the engine builders wallet


Seriously, if it was a turbo, it would either fill the intercooler with oil, causing smoke! or blow it straight out of the exhaust , causing smoke! If it was a piston ring it would bump up the crankcase, causing smoke and filling the oil breather tank! (if it's a standard Noble ) if its standard the oil breather feeds into the front turbo inlet, this can cause smoke!


First thing I would do is look in the intercooler.
