smokey 1.4 ahw engine code
« on: 14 March 2011, 08:10 »
my cars burning oil .

smokes like a train when you pull away , or on the throttle after overrun.

is this a common issue ? as don't want to strip and find that the bottom end is what is causing the problem.

would say it's the valve stem seals, as crank case is not pressurised
 s
so any input would be great thanks

only covered 100k also so a bit rubbish for a golf.
