SteveS Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 and just had my first service and MOT and it sailed through, which is a massive relief. Will pick up on Saturday and hopefully, if its not too snowy have a good run out. The only thing mentioned was a bit of smoke on start up, which we all know happens and nothing to worry about if it goes after a few moments. Engineer says possibly valve stem seals but not to worry til you see a plume of smoke all the while you're driving. Anyway happy days for now.

Aaron Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 What colour is the smoke? If it has a blue tinge then, yes, it's likely stem seals. However, if it's as white as fluffy clouds then it's likely just moisture in the exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushman Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 its a flat engine so the bores don't drain like a vertical engine so the first piston movement always scrapes a bit of oil up, same with valve stems, nothing to worry about if it goes after a few secs. and Aarons right about the exhausts collecting moisture too. it would have helped if Porsche had put a small drain hole in the bottom of each silencer body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
