I have an S2 that has just recently started blowing blue smoke.

There is a big cloud on a cold start up. and then once the car has warmed up it happily puffs away on tick over!
however, the stem seals were replaced less than 1000 miles ago along with a new oil pump, and a compression test revealed no issues with rings.?

anyone have any ideas?

 

Oil's getting into the cylinders one way or another, and if it's not getting into the cylinders, it's getting into the exhaust, and the only other way it can do that is from the turbo...

 

is there anyway i can check this?

I have been told it might be the turbo but i was told if the turbo was causing oil burn it would be using alot of oil?

 

Check turbo comp housing for signs of oil if there is this will be your problem(if wet)

I shall see if i can find time to get it apart this weekend and have a look.

cheers for advice!

 

you only need to take pipe off that goes to intercooler and look inside compressor
