Do you know what a cat does...!?

Blue smoke - if it is actually blue, means burning oil, which is not good. Are you seeing it in your mirror or has someone pointed it out ?

 

[suttle172]

yeh im aware of wat a cat does but does smell really really rich lol! and i can sumtimes see a blue haze now and agen in my mirror wen im at a junction etc

It will. Get used to it !

Blue smoke - get a mate to follow you for a couple of miles and ask them if you're seeing things or if you have a problem.

Bit of black smoke when hoofing it is normal is decatted, every car ive put a decat has smelled rich but it shouldnt be puffing out blue smoke

 

[suttle172]

Is it using any oil?

 

[suttle172]

only just started doing it and nah not at moment

Could be leaky piston ring allowing oil into the cylinder causing it to burn during the combustion cycle or maybe a dodgy valve. Blue smoke normally means burning oil tho.
