Over run smokey vr6
« on: 13 July 2013, 11:21 »
Getting a little smokey once I have dropped a few gears and let it roll in gear... Nothing when I drive away, only when I'm slowing in gear... Any thoughts?

More than likely valve stem seals mate judging by your symptoms. My vr is the same, driving along then lift of and let it coast in gear, smoke appears when back on throttle.
