U waited in line for an hour at the car wash?...are u against washing it yourself lol...where are we heading...
Personally, I have no interest in washing my car.

I spent my early life wrenching, washing, installing stereos, blah blah blah, and personally I'm over it.

All that happens when i wash it is I get pissed off at the new scratches, dings, and rock chips that I find.

If I wanted to be annoyed, I would just go to work.

hahaha i second this!

I'd go back to the car wash and see if it happens again?

Weird.

Let's see what startup looks like in the morning, but since this happened when you "got on it", my #1 suspect (as you already indicated) would be turbo/seal as well. Are you sure somebody didn't steal your cats and put on some cheapo replacements?

After i arrived home from work yesterday we left the house for dinner about an hour later and it smoked again then cleared up. Same thing this morning on the way to work.

It does make sense especially if this was your first time in a while at the car wash,the high pressured water could of entered anywhere in the engine,just like SHOdded mentioned earlier possibly water inside the CAC with the mixture of oil contributed to your issues.Z.

As much as I am certain I will feel the same way someday, I hope I don't ever get there.
I'm definitely on my way. Really not becasue I don't enjoy detailing. But as far as prioritizing goes, it really falls to the wayside these days. The bad part about it is, I don't hire anybody. They just stay dirty.

I have 5 vehicles now, between the wife and myself. At least one of them has to go.

Sounds like the wife has got to go.....

ZSHO, i understand what your saying but the car usually get a wash every week. I personally think there is a serious problem because the car has done its smoking out the exhaust 3 times now since the car wash incident and if a little water got in anywhere it would have been gone by now. I went to the dealer this morning on the way to work, i'm going to drop it off in the next couple days, since it also has the timing chain rattle on a cold start so i'm thinking we can kill two birds with one stone. I think i'm going to push hard for a new engine, we will see how that go's......

Make sure they check your ECU. I was told about a flex that went through 2 fully dressed engines and cats before they found out the ECU was killing them.

Ok, so two items for your dealership visit: turbo seals, and timing chain (stretch). POSSIBLY, a cracked block, but not at that point I think.

Any updates?

I dropped the flex off at the dealer this morning, i shall soon find out if they are going to do anything. I don't think it is the turbos, i pulled the air filter out and it was saturated in oil, and so it all of the intake tubes. Its so bad its seeping out of all the connections at the hose clamps and running down all over the rear turbo. About 8 months ago i did have the oil separator and the rear valve cover changed out due to consuming oil per TSB

SHOdded · March 30, 2015, 01:54:45 PM

Ooooo, that's NOT good! Hope they get it fixed right this time. Have them check the intercooler too. Flow/Pressure's messed up somewhere ...

I'm still waiting to hear back from the dealer..................

SoCalFlexin · April 01, 2015, 07:36:45 PM

I just received a call from the service writer from the dealer telling me that they can not get the car to reproduce the knock at start up or any smoke out of the exhaust. Well this is absolutely misdiagnosed or an easy way out because i drive this car everyday and absolutely positively has these problems. Should a car with 27,000 miles on it burn a quart of oil every 1000 miles? absolutely not! I'm PISSED!
