Hi all,
I own a 90 200tdi, it's been stood for a good period of time now as I bought it as a project and I have no idea of the history. It idles lovely and runs sweet as anything, however, under hard acceleration it throws blue smoke out of the exhaust. Now, I'm thinking of simply just doing an oil change and seeing if it cures it, but, I thought it might be the turbo, however there is no excess free play or signs of any oil leaks from the turbo.
I also spoke to another mechanic and he said it might be either worn rings or even sticky rings. In other words, I'm in a complete scramble to know where i stand with it.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers, Dan.
