Morning all,
Took the zed out for a small test drive yesterday and noticed blue smoke coming from the exhaust. I was only going up and down a cul-de-sac for about 5 minutes, but at about 2k rpm there's a fair bit of smoke. Not absolutely loads, but enough for me to feel conscious about it. The car has been sat not moving for about a year now so just wondering if maybe that has something to do with it?
From the research I've done, I've deduced that its either the CCV getting clogged up with s**t, and needs replacing, or the valve stem seals. Both jobs don't sound the nicest to do.
Questions:
1. how easy are both these jobs to do?
2. anyone else have any idea on anything else it could potentially be? I've recently fitted a new cat and a new rocker cover gasket.
3. Is this something an OBD reader would pick up on?
As always, any help appreciated, thanks.
