mondeo 1.8 duratec smoky
Just taken my car 03 mondeo 1.8 petrol for its pre mot and the bloke says I am not going to be able to get it through the emissions due to it giving out a lot of blue smoke at about 3500rpm when you hold the throttle for a minute or 2.he says he has seen it before but isn't sure what causes it and in the past hes advised replacing the engine instead of spending time trying to solve it,seems a shame to scrap the car as it drives great and is still good on fuel etcanyone know what causes it? and is there a quick/cheap fix?
it has done 125000 miles,hes says he has seen it happen at 70000 on other ones though

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Duratorq is the Diesel engine. Anyway, have you noticed it loosing oil? It could be blocked breather pipes, worn piston rings, worn bores. Best to do a compression test and inspect the breather pipes. Could use a bore scope to inspect the bores. If the rings or bores are worn you're best of putting in a good second engine in or scrap it.
