OZZIVR6 0 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hi all I've got a 3.2L vr6 with 240000kms on it It blows a crazy amount of blue/white smoke on startup fir the first 5kms of driving then it drives great Compression is good, between 185& 200 on all cylinders I've replaced the valve stem seals with the head on and it still blows a cloud of smoke on acceleration after engine breaking Coolant levels are good there's no foam under the oil filler cap I've replaced the pcv valve assembly It had new timing chains 30000 ks ago before I bought it Kinda running out of ideas.... How else could oil make its way into the cylinder, could the oil cooler be a suspect? I've done a real thorough engine clean to try and clear any carbon build up on the oil rings and tried thicker oils with various oil stabilisers nothing seems to make a difference and it uses a lot of oil I'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow to get their take on it, no other mechanic can find a definitive answer to the problem and just say to get a new engine Realistically 240000ks isn't that many my last Vw had nearly 5000000 and drove like new Any help or ideas appreciated as I'm running out of options and can't continue driving round with this smoke -Martin Link to post Share on other sites
Philly-R6 28 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Given your good compression, the piston rings/bores and valves are sealed well. So where is the oil coming from?? Take the inlet manifold off and see if it is full of oil? Is the breather blocked or is there too much oil in the sump? Link to post Share on other sites
