    Default Another dread, hopefully nothing

    It’s me again with another niggle on my vectra. It’s a 19cdti 150, never really noticed it myself or even bothered to pay attention but a guy guy I work with told me there was blue smoke coming out my exhaust on cold start up, car was sat for about 4/5 hours. Now I know blue smoke indicates oil burning but does this necessarily mean it’s valve stem oil seals? As diesel is an oil so could it not just be I burned fuel? Or maybe leaky injector??? Or am I doomed with another £400+ bill lol.

    I’m guessing this is only on start up as I can’t see any other smoke than the black crap it kicks out when driving lol.

    Hopefully one of you can put me out my misery and tell me it’s nothing they all do it, you’re fine keep you’re money

    Thanks
