Title: 1999 gti turbo
Post by: fizzkerry on 01 November 2007, 17:34

ive got a 1999 gti turbo 3 door which ive owned since 2001.i stopped running it 2 years ago when i had child as there was no room for buggies etc ,and got a 5 door astra sri.
i know nothing about cars at all,but its not moved much in the 2 years but now when im looking at getting it ready to sell it is putting out blue smoke from exhaust.could this be the turbo thats away.theres no noise coming from it and everything else on car is standard.
its only done 66,000 miles.
anyone any ideas to help/
thanks
