A bit dim here how could excessive oil be sucked in on start up I'm not completly familiar with Diesel engines
I've noticed a bit of blue smoke on start-up too
06 TD4 Auto
I have used 2 stroke oil and/or redex but ran out and didn't put any in the last tank full.
Connected?
it collects in bottom of manifold and inter cooler etc and is sucked in from vac on start up during running oil mist doesnt get the time to collect in to 1 larger quantity, same with stem seals oil collect on valve in port overnight sucked in again on start up but once running not enough gather so you notice though some oil will be entering through valve
possibly ,is it blue or just vapour from cold exhaust
So if I take out my inter cooler and wash it through with petrol and also clean all the pipes this may give me a indication of where the oil is coming from
I think blue. there is not much but enough to notice.
I'll get my Mrs to start it one morning whilst I see what happens
Thanks for your help James my 200tdi has just done 190,000 and I've just bought a house so I'm hoping it nothing serious as I can't afford a re build
