Geastb 0 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I'm getting a bit of blue smoke when coasting off throttle then accelerating - only does it sometimes. Does it sometimes when coasting to a junction then stopping and pulling away. Could this be valve seals? I'm going to get a compression check done to see if its rings - i'm hoping its seals tho!Anyone? Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 surely it could be either even if you get low compression still? Link to post Share on other sites
Geastb 0 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I always thought a compression test was for rings? how would it show valve stem seals? Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 i thought vrs did this a little anyway? the vrs iv followed (not many) have all spat a bit of smoke out when they floored it Link to post Share on other sites
Geastb 0 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I might just be being paranoid - its cus i've got upswept pipes so i can see all the smoke behind me! I'm not sure how much its burning (about hlaf litre every 1300 miles?) at least its not as bad as my old engine (1 lt every 600 miles) Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 vw quote 1 litre per 1 k miles as within tolerance!! iv seen a little smoke once from mine doin the same thing off throttle down a hill (i love the poppin noise lol) then booted it but it doesnt drink oil so dont think theres anythin wrong Link to post Share on other sites

Nerih 0 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 best thing to do is to get a two-way radio and get someone behind you and then you can ask them if they see smoke under different circumstances....Mine smokes sometimes when floored without being gentle Link to post Share on other sites
