Upon start up, a plume of white smoke came from the back on acceleration but went away after a few minutes. It also felt as though the engine wasn’t building boost for the first 100-200 yards, then it would wake up (yes, engine temp was adequate to allow full boost pressures.) It seemed to run great the first day and 15 miles, but day two was a different story.
After popping open the front cover, I noticed my coolant tank was empty. This was odd, as the dealer stated it was low and had JUST refilled it and tested the system.
So in 15 miles I burned through all my coolant; at least the liter or so that was in the reservoir. WHERE DID IT GO!!!!
Checked the oil, looks just fine.
No visible leaks anywhere. The only thing I can think of is I have a head gasket leak that is allowing antifreeze to burn off in the engine.
Does anyone know if the Turbo uses anti freeze to "cool" the air? I only ask because I know these machines have a "liquid charge air cooler". What liquid are they using? Is it possible the turbo is burning the antifreeze?
Literally the only change I have made is installing an EVO blow off valve.
My machine rolled off the factory line on 10/16/15. To date, it has been in the shop for 3 of the 7 weeks I have owned it.
