What should be done when the blue smoke appears in the exhaust?
Blue smoke indicates the presence of oil in the combustion chamber, which is usually a result of worn piston rings or valves (valve seats), or clogged oil vapor vent.
Possible causes of the problem:
- dirty air filter
- blockage or leakage in the oil inlet/outlet of turbocharger
- resistance (blockage) or leakage in the exhaust line, prior to turbine
- dirty compressed air cooler (intercooler)
- damage or wear of the turbocharger vital parts
- wear of rotor and bearings
