@Calum Reid
I'm getting mine tested again and making sure they give me the results. Leak down as well.
So embarrassing having a cloud of blue smoke bellowing out the back 50% of the time I pull away haha.

Calum Reid:
Yeah I’m going to try get a leak down test done one night this week, I’ve done a compression test and results were very high, could just be a faulty gauge though! Let me know how your leak down test goes:)

pudding:
Yeah it is embarrassing, especially from a German brand which supposedly reliable  :grin:  Blue smoke and rust......that's when I call it on a car!

Although a busted engine is a good opportunity to upgrade  :laugh:  It's a bit of a catch 22 situation because a car with a smokey engine will be hard to sell on.
