    Smoke

    Anyone else had any weird episodes of their GTI blowing white smoke (more than just a whiff) ocassionally. Usually at idle or takeoff soon after. Not turbo related as it does not show when you boot it. Haven't seen it for a while now. Jimmys looking into it. Interested if anyone had similar prob?

    It Blue smoke guys, displaying classic valve stem seal or guide issue, idle and give it a boot and its there. Pretty much cut and dried

    Bugger... How much would someone be looking for to replace the valve guides and seals?? I imagine it would be quite expensive...
