steupton 0 Posted March 9, 2010 i have a 1.8 16v. over the last week ive noticed oil bein sucked up into the air intake and down onto the floor. NIIIIIICE recently the car started to shudder slightly under hard accelleration. after that a few starting problems with the airbox puffing out smoke before starting. today the car started no problem then driving along all of a sudden the shudder started and wouldnt go away. the car just wouldnt accellerate when putting my foot down. sounded very bass'y bit like how a scooby would sound. then.........stalled. now the bloody thing wont start. ive searched for this problem on here and one person has it but there isnt any resolve. just wonderin if anyone elso has had this problem and knows how to corredt it. sheers steve :cheers: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reggit 0 Posted March 9, 2010 Blocked engine breathers? don't know about 16v's, but have known other cars to eat their own oil via the induction side when the breathers are blocked. This will eventually lead to oiled up plugs. Everything you describe sounds to be related to a blocked breather pipe somewhere, if this is the issue, then you will likely have an air cleaner flooded in oil.

steupton 0 Posted March 9, 2010 where are all these things situated? are they all pipes connected through the air box? throttle body etc? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
