Hi,

You mentioned before about possible injector seal problems on this engine. We recently had a smoking problem when accelerating. this was a "turbo pipe" as the dealer said and it's fixed. More recently we're noticing blue smoke on start-up. The car is a 56 plate Seat Leon Ref Sport with 40K on the clock. It's in today for a service, and we also mentioned this.

In case we get the fob-off from the dealer, is there anything else that could be causing this, or is it the norm?

Cheers

Dr G

Is this only on cold start or does it still blue under power? Does it pull properly or feel slow?

Only on start-up from cold. Pulls fine otherwise.

Blue normally means oil and is normally bad, but if its just a puff at start up, I wouldnt be concerned at all.
