  1. It probably doesnt help to indentify any issue due to the fact i dont think the temp has been anywhere near 10°c on any day since i bought the car 😆 its not losing any coolant either. Thanks for the input J.R, i'll keep an eye on it for now 👍
  2. Kind of thought that, just wanted someone elses opinion for peace of mind dude 🤘 appreciated.
  3. Its translucent/white and smells more like petrol than oil
  4. Hi folks, picked up a 2007 2.0T around a month ago and it had a stainless catback system fitted and from what i gathered the car wasnt being driven much as the previous owner was ill. I drove it home from Leeds to Edinburgh and there wasnt much smoke from the exhaust. I dont use the car for long journeys per say so kind of put the issue down to condensation in the exhaust. I have fitted an induction kit and decat with heatwrap and have also had the car remapped. The smoke is the same as before but now happens as soon as the car starts to idle. I'm aware these engines do use a small amount of oil, topping up a very small amount every 3-4 weeks. Ive read up also it could possibly be piston rings? The car has only covered 93k miles and has been well mainted (fsh) and plenty of receipts for anything spent on the car. Can anyone shed some info on this if possible? Or am i being paranoid? 😄
