Its the 1.8 20vt think its an agu. Its smokes when fired up or if its been ticking over for a while clears after a short drive . It doesnt smoke on boost so dont think its the turbo.

Where can i get 1 of those air pipe tools from anybody know

I could do with it being done asap really

May sound silly but is the car overfilled with oil? Even a touch over can cause it to smoke as you described i did it few years back. Worth a check.  :smiley:
