Hey guys im in need of major assistance, The situation is, i bought a vl calais turbo formerly known as FLIPSI im drivin home from just buyin it an all of sudden its starts splutterin and running extremly rough then cab starts taking in a lot of smoke, i get it home an look under the bonnet and it blew the dipstick out and sprayed oil throught the bay, i put it back in and top her with oil, it is now blowing sooooo much thick white smoke and it will not run rite its just stalls and runs rough. I need some advice guys as i took a loan out an spent every cent buyin the car an now have no car and no money so any advice or help would be much appreciated

Yep... first thing I would be doing is get a compression test. If compression test comes back with low compression in 1 or more cyl's - then its time to start pulling it apart.

I didnt think bottom end as ther was no knocks from it.. ---------- Post added 01-07-11 at 14:35 ---------- I drove about 1km after i saw smoke caus i just got to carwash were i could pull over an check it out i then drove about 500m to my house.

fried rings won't cause a knock.. just a LOT of smoke and crank case pressure!

Yeh im quite confident rings now. Going to compression test it tonight.

Your tellin me man. Im absolutely shattered, the guy dosent even wanna know me now after i told what happended on the way home from pickin it up.

It probably would've already been stuffed and thats why the guy sold it!

how much did you pay for it? thats why id always take the car for a test drive even if its the second time ive looked at it, u never know what some young tosser will do to it the night before you get it

i know th e feeling mate that happened to me with my turbo berlina when i was on the way home from buying it but mine screwed the oil pump and i didnt have a oil pressure light as i found after, the idiot used a n1 oil pump with out a crank collar.... the guy didnt answer his phone after it happened either.... wish you the best mate

I guess it happens every day to people its just sad because nothing ya can do apart from try find some money to fix it..

That's **** luck mate. I thought FLIPSI was on a xr6t in mill park area.

Yeah the plates have been on a few cars he was tellin me..

Could be the ring lands or the oil control ring.

Took the plugs out and they wer absolutely f****d i changed them it ran slightly better but the compression test showed number 4 had virtually no compression all the rest wer reading around 130,
