8303, Smoke at idle
Posted by neovb, Jun-25-05 05:56 PM
Ive got a 91 TSI AWD, 16G, 3" exhaust, no cat. Lately, its been shooting out a lot of smoke at idle, but ONLY at idle. Smoke goes away while driving, and when idling for a while after. Seems to be whitish/blue. Overall, car drives fine with no CEL or anything. Any ideas?

Sounds like your turbo.

Turbo is fairly new... checked it also, very little to no shaft play. Anything else? Im gonna do a compression check today, hopefully the results wont suck.

You need to check the oil seals not the shaft. Is it still under any warranty?

I dont know anymore, there is getting to be more and more smoke. Now it smokes at idle, smokes during driving, and smokes after driving... Knowing my luck its probably the motor.... sigh.
Funny how everyone says the 420A sucks compared to the 4G63...
