New Car? Blue Smoke
 

Hi Folks,

I test drove a 75 Tourer today, Diesel 150,000 miles. Cold and wet- loads of blue smoke out the back.

How concerned should I be? Should I take it out for a test drive- get the engine hot and see if it still has the smoke or just walk away?

Thanks.

Walk away I'd say; blue smoke usually indicates burning oil.

Diesels smoke a lot more and easier than petrol.
It could be faulty or it could just be adjustment.
If the car appeals to you, have it looked at and use it to get the price right.
If it is worn, walk away, but at 150000 I really doubt it.

Change the PCV filter and the intercooler O rings you may find it works wonders.

Definitely signs of a blocked PCV ;)

Thanks- how much does that cost?

And a good thrash to get the exhaust hot enough to burn off all the engine oil that is sitting in there.

Thanks Folks- I'll give it another chance today.
