Duck 0 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 94 VR6, blue smoke.....Bit of an odd one, had a run out today and apart from a poor idle all was well.After 40 miles or so it started burning oil, knocked it off and left for half an hour to cool down, oil level ok and started again. Little smoke again then cleared up so tried for home. Won't smoke on over run or holding at a steady 50/60mph, pull away from a roundabout though and there's clouds of the stuff! Was originally suspecting a sticking piston ring but then noticed a little smoke creep up the side of the bonnet so now thinking a long the lines of breather system.Not had chance to pull the plugs yet to see if its a particular cylinder, it's had a top end rebuild 150 miles ago and had the opportunity to check cylinder bores and all looked well.So combination of of erratic idle and the smoke from under RH side of the bonnet have got me thinking (hoping) it's the breather side of things, any help or suggestions are appreciated, it's not the best start the VR6 ownership!!

MJ Vr6 79 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Blue smoke on these tend to be Oil Stem Seals.You can have a look at the bottom end of block when you take the Head off.VR6 lump can take a beating.Normal cases are the stem seals mate.Puffs of Blue smoke at rear when taking off!! Ideally get them from VW (TPS), DO NOT get from EURO, coz theyre pretty shiiite dot com. VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
