as above, my car is now blowing lots of what looks like blue smoke from the exhaust. the oil level is just below medium, - mods are cats removed, dawes device, collins dumpvalve, turbo timer. milage is 77 thousand. there are no wierd sounds, and drives normal, but drove home off boost.
car is MY97 turbo saloon
help!

I'd keep a good eye on that oil level ! - Oil burn could be piston rings, bore probs, turbo or a good number of other things. You need to keep an eye on the oil consumption and maybe check the cylinder compression - It could even be cylinder head gasket...

copied from my other post in general technical :-
just checked my levels, coolent was none exsistant. put over 1 1/2 pints in. Looks like new head gaskets time

Anyone know how much i should be looking at for the complete job

just to add, tried it in daylight today and the smoke is really white and dosent smell bitter like oil smoke, like water in the pistons

I suggest you take a look at the underside of the oil filler cap - look for a white milky residue - if the water is mixing with the oil, you'll get this...

Also take out the spark plugs and check for water in the bores.
