#1: Blue Smoke :-( Author: rhian206, Location: StaffordshirePosted: Mon Nov 19, 2012 3:07 am ---- Morning all,
Wondering if anyone could help me!
This morning i went out to my 206 1.6 and tried to start her up, at first it wouldnt start eventually when it started i had a cloud of blue smoke then it cut out, tried to start her again and it was turning over rapidly, and again fired up and ran roughly. Small ammount of smoke on idle.
I drove her on a 2 mile trip and she drove perfectly as she always had in the past...
Any suggestions.
Rhian

#3: Re: Blue Smoke :-( Author: rhian206, Location: StaffordshirePosted: Mon Nov 19, 2012 3:11 am ---- Is it a common fault burning oil on the 1.6 16v engine, and what would be the likely cause of it burning oil??

#6: Re: Blue Smoke :-( Author: rhian206, Location: StaffordshirePosted: Mon Nov 19, 2012 4:29 am ---- I checked the oil and it is between min and max so cannot be overfill.

#10: Re: Blue Smoke :-( Author: rhian206, Location: StaffordshirePosted: Mon Nov 19, 2012 6:38 am ---- It last had a full service in june this year, i have since been out in the car and its cleared up.
im guessing its being burnt off as im driving so if it comes back in the morning we have a problem
#11: Re: Blue Smoke :-( Author: wonkey_18, Location: CornwallPosted: Mon Nov 19, 2012 7:27 am ---- give the car a good sensible run down the dual carridgeway for a few miles to clear it out
#12: Re: Blue Smoke :-( Author: bezford, Location: darlingtonPosted: Mon Nov 19, 2012 10:40 am ---- Has the underside of the oil filler cap got any gunk on it and wot colour is. It?did u put fuel in it the day before it smoked?its defo oil gettin into the cylinder ....just wheres it coming in from?
#13: Re: Blue Smoke :-( Author: rhian206, Location: StaffordshirePosted: Mon Nov 19, 2012 11:14 am ---- Hiya
I put £20 of fuel in yesterday morning, and it was fine for the 50 miles i did then it stood for 18 hours then the problem ac cured. The oil cap looks the usual colour i have had a car before that was like mayonnaise but this is clear. I have been driving around most of the day.
I gave it a good run. So i spose the best thing to do now is see what the morning brings.
