HELP
Hope someone can give me an idea on this problem.
My 2001 996 3.4L Tiptonic has just covered 50000 miles and has been serviced by JCT leeds and now Porsche sheffield.
A couple of weeks ago I took the car out and after a couple of miles the car lost power then a massive amount of white smoke poured out of the exhausts.
I pulled over and got the car towed to the Porsche Centre Sheffield who had the car for 3 days and then found no fault.
I picked the car up and took it for a long drive and all seemed fine.
I took out the car again about a week later and the same happened again lots of white smoke so thick you cannot see anything behind you.
This time I let the smoke die down and drove the car to Porsche Sheffield where it drove fine with a small amount of blueish smoke from the right exhaust.
Porsche did there tests and informed me that they couldn't visually find anything wrong and wanted to strip down the engine at my cost £4000 or replace the engine to cut my losses as they put it £12000.
One point is I fitted a V-Flow Induction Kit to the car just before these problems started and since getting the car back I have taken this off and found lots of an oily substance in the throttle body.
Anyone else had this problem
Please Help.
