Mk1 blowing smoke advice needed

Post by alex826 »

Hi. I was driving home from TOTB today and was almost home when i noticed blue smoke coming from the exhaust only under acceleration. Car still seems to have full power though. I'm thinking piston ring.
Any ideas? Also, how much do you think something like that will cost to fix?

Thanks

Do a compression test mate, if you've normal power it may be nothing much to worry about.
