My lude is smoking... someone told me to check for antifreeze in the oil or vice-versa....but the smoke I get is bluish/white....so I guess antifreeze is outa question.
I also replaced my PCV valve.
It only happens when I am on idle at a light, then when taking off, there is a "puff" of smoke...it doesnt smoke constantly though...while idleing
Can anyone relate? the car has 110K on it, i didnt expect this kind of problem "so soon"
I really would like to hear from you guys' past experiences, before I am at the mercy of a mechanic..
Many Thankx..

 

check your head gasket for leaks

 

Thankx Sushi,

One question, my gf's jetta headgasket was leaking oil all over the place, meanwhile it didnt smoke. Can ya explain me that? Just lucky?
I know you guys talk/write mostly about how to make ludes fast, since I am really enjoying my ride (bought in 12/01) I want to first have it running nice and smooth.
So...any tips will be greatly appr3ciated

P.S- I am new to all this, but I think i am learning a great deal from you guys! Keep up the good work!

 

The best thing to do is a compression test, then from there(if there is any loss) do a leakdown test to find out where. Be sure to check your spark plugs also. You can tell alot about the condition of your motor form your plugs. Good luck!!

 

Thankx a lot! Very much appreciated!
