So my pride and joy (red uk spec tt) makes a small blue cloud initially when I start her up in the morning, this then clears and she runs normally ie no smoke unless I floor it, then it also gives a small puff of blue smoke initially.

 

A REME mechanic says its the valve rings leaking, thats its not a problem and alot of supras suffer from this!

:blink:

 

Is this true? Does anybody suffer with this?

Hmmm, he might be referring to stem seals, in which case yes, around 100k they need replacing.

 

 

That's interesting. I know two people who have had this problem and their mileages were around 50k and 30k :blink: unless they were both clocked but i don't think so. Could it not be down to time rather than mileage? (With some supras getting on for 14 years old now)

nice to see another 21 yr old with a decent car! £1000 is not a problem (well after a couple of months of saving!) its not a major problem is it? I mean I'm not doing any damage to it by driving am I?

Think it will be worse if your BPU but stock you should be fine for a bit. Just check your oil levels regularly as its just burning off.
