Anyone have any clue on this...  ?

 

2014 Fabia diesel with just 24000miles, was travelling at approx 50mph up hill, glowplug light illuminates and within a few seconds the revs hit 7000rpm and smoke fills the car. Switched straight off and on looking there's a pool of oily orange liquid come out the exhaust pipe! 

 

Recovered car home and next day checked oil and water -both OK. Try to start car and it starts fine and sounds fine. Leave for a few minutes and raise revs. Engine gets to approx 2500 rpm and revs shoot up off the gauge again and more orange liquid from the exhaust. 

 

Anyone ever come across this before? Was thinking the fluid could be some kind of dpf additive (like PAT fluid in Peugeots) but been told that the car hasn't got any in its dpf system.

 

Also wondered if turbo related... oil seal? But surely any oil being pumped through to come out the exhaust would be black. 

 

I'm struggling here!

 

Thanks in advance 🙂

The only liquid that could come out the exhaust as a "pool" is coolant. Bad head gasket.

Since the post in in the Mk2 section i take it a 2014 Mk2 1.6TDI CR and not an early Mk3 1.4 TDI 3 cylinder that has had the coolant recall action.

?

Have you had the car from new and know the full history of it?

?

Is the coolant in the reservoir the correct pink colour?

 

7,000 rpm???

Yes, late Mk2 1.6.

 

Doesn't feel like coolant as has a definite viscosity to it and orange rather than the pink coolant in the system. Don't understand the over-reving either. When the engine takes off the needle spins right round to 7000+ rpm in an instant.

 

Guessing it is ****** then.   Someone might have seen the likes.

Are you in the fortunate or un-fortunate position of Skoda having carried out the Emissions Fix in the past 2 years.

So a flow device fitted and new engine management and 24 months of some sort of hopeless Peace of Mind warranty!

This is from the other post a mod might delete that post.

Thanks. Don't know how I posted it twice! 

I'm also thinking "FUBAR, totally FUBAR"; best shot is that the 7_000 is a bit hyperbolic, and it's dieseling with a mix of OAT and glycol...

Is this looking familiar?

Dieseling applies only to spark ignited IC engines.

Its def running on its own oil / fumes to runaway on its own.

 

Sounds as already mentioned the headgasket has failed
