blue smoke from exhaust?

[Dave138]

what is it? on a car that i should be getting, has quite a lot of it at startup n after a few good revs, it goes.

anything in particular it might be?

i have read up on it and seems to be that it is oil burning with the petrol mixture...

how could it be getting in there?

worn rings u maggot

 

[Fred@BTM]

worn rings or valve stem seals

 

[Russ_16v]

if it goes away after few revs or mins its valve stem seals,if it still a haze all the time its rings both expensive,rings means rebiuld,valve stems means head off

 

[ben_p]

[ben_p]

I'd go and buy something else! lol

stem seals.

leaks into chambers when the engine is stopped then burns off when its running

if it were rings or bore etc it would do it underload and would pressurise the crankcase.

get a leakdown test done at a local garage to confirm.

 

[Dave138]

how much andy for these to be replaced on a 1.4k series do you think?

cheers for that info mate

 

[Andy GDI]

its about 10 hrs plus parts. depending on the number of guides or seals that need doing.

[Dave138]

eek quite alot then, how much are valve seats at an estimate mate?

 

[Dave138]

anybody?

Could be the head gasket. Basically it could be anything that's causing your car to burn oil.
