Just your thoughts/suggestions on this one.

My little 1.0 blue smokes when pulling away from stationary (stopped) and smells really bad inside the car.

Now it only does this after when be ran on 'overrun' going down hill for a long time (where the engine is been turned by the wheels rather than fuel). Also it doesn't always do it especialy in the first hour of the engine been ran from cold.

The engine does pull very well and isn't consuming more oil than normall.

Any ideas?


Thanks.

how much oil is in there?
not sure whether its related but mine did something similar when i got abit carried away last time i topped up my oil and put too much in.

blocked beather pipe

burning oil maybe?
if it is tht, go to halfords or somehwere similar and get summit by WYNNS that u tht put into the engine oil and will get rid of the blue smoke

My local garage did first say when I told them that is there too much oil in the engine.

And to be honist is was just below the max on the dip stick. I havn't put any oil in since and the level has dropped under half now but it still blue smokes every now and then.

I don't know if it's burning oil, or it's just getting is fuel mixture wrong.

don't know if you got your problem solved but i would say your rings are going

Dunc

God knows what it is but is hasn't done it in months now. Only seemed to do it in hot weather. (When the engine is really hot).
