:confused::confused: Righty here we go. All about half a hour ago.

Driving home from the gym so pretty knackered to start with.

Coming out of the roundabout about 2 secs from my house, then a almighty woooosh, no power and smoking like hell.

Cr@p!!!! Me thinks a hose has popped off.

Get home, open bonnet (bit of oil sprayed near the air intake hose), tools out, undertray off. Checked all the hoses and all OK, meanwhile my hands feel like they are -20

To find it wooshing and sprayin oil out of the CCV hose that I directed under the car.

Not a clue. Anyone heard or encountered this.

No light on the dash but wont rev passed 1500. Think its in limp mode

Muchos helpos needed please

Uhoh!!!

I did the CCV bypass - hope its all okay

Oh dear....

CCV...

Thats the elephant mod right?

If so, ive got that!!

Guess yours is to atmosphere like mine then?

Wonder if its better to have a catch can?

Dave

Cheers for the comments haha.

Gonna check for split hoses.

Whats puzzling me is why if the turbo has gone or the hoses have split would it affect the crank case breather to pass air like it is?

ohhhh my.......

Just to add its a 55 plate on 34k.

Catch can ftw

Can't see how a loss of turbo / intake pressure for whatever reason could pressurise the crankcase. What sort of leisure centre is it? - could a local yokel have given your exhaust a potato to eat? A collapsed cat can give serious backpressure.

Although you have sound and oil at the end of the elephant's trunk, are you sure it isn't being kinked or blocked? There may be nothing wrong with it or the CCV system as there is a lot of air moved around - take off the oil filler cap with the engine running to feel how much - and the point of the trunk was to get the oil away from the EGR so a few drops is exactly what you'd expect. When you said that there was oil near the intake, where exactly? with the elephant's trunk fitted, the only oil that could get into the intake sustem would be from the turbo. Not sure if this helps, but best of luck.

Its blowing from jubilee clip due to the pressure, thats all. I'm thinking the turbo instead of sending oil back to the sump its sending air, hence blowing from the ccv breather. Whether its a blown turbo or a split hose is beyond me.

Doubt it. The oil pressure is very high compared to the air and you'd soon know if enough oil was leaking to allow air in. Sorry, no easy answer, you're going to have to get under and look with a good light. BOL

These dark nights dont make it easy.

Spoke to a guy at awesome and he might suspect a piston ring causing blow by.

Has anyone experienced this?
