Smoke on start up.
 

Gday guys/girls,
I'm all new to this. I need some help.
I get a puff of smoke on start up then it disappears (bluish tinge), I've changed the valve stem seals, turbo (TD06-20G) approx 5000km old. No oil in FMIC intercooler, PCV changed, compression tested all okay. Stumped .. Can anyone advise.:confused:

blue smoke = oil
Overfilled?
Blow-by... try a catch can and/or try a thicker oil?
Those with more mechanical knowledge than I will chime in...

Oil not overfilled but when topped up, it consumes alot of oil. I do have a Catch Can (no oil in it) and oil used is 10-40.

Chuck in some upper engine cleaner and run it as per the directions.

Worn valve guides?
personally I'd take it to your chosen mechanic if you've checked everything you can think of and it's still leaving you scratching your head. Get a leakdown test done or summin'

mates have suggested that as well.. cheers

Overfilled with oil? Mine did that after a service where they overfilled it by 400ml! Went away after I drained some.

Cheers guys, ill take it direct to Subaru & see what they say, as a second opinion


using the Perth-WRX mobile app

f Subaru, go to blue star or stechnic. They wont charge you through the nose and will more then likely solve or fix the issue, i doubt Subaru will help you much at all
