| 2018 CrossTrek - Blue Smoke (Dumbfounded) | 30Relevance | 11 months ago | orlandoleal | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... I noticed a puff of Blue smoke in the mornings and sometimes in the afternoon. I took it to the Subaru dealer. They ran it through several tests (i.e., compression, seals, valve guides, pvc, etc...) - no issues. Afterwards, they said I needed a carbon deposit cleanup. $1600... they did a manual deposit cleanup and replaced the spark plugs. Car had better pickup afterwards, but the Blue smoke continued. I took it back to the Subaru dealer again at around 82000 miles and the mechanic did an Oil Consumption test. I drove it for 1300 miles and the dealer ... | |||||
| Answer to: blue smoke on start up | 30Relevance | 4 years ago | jack62 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Since you've already changed the PCV valve, it sounds like you're describing a small valve stem seal leak. Blue smoke on startup. Pretty easy to distinguish it from leaking piston rings. With leaking piston rings, if you mash down on the gas pedal, Blue smoke will pour from the exhaust pipe. With leaking valve seals, it won't. Also, with rings, not only will oil get into the combustion chamber, gas will get into the crankcase oil so your oil will smell like gas. To remedy that Blue smoke on startup, aside from actually replacing the valve stem seals, y ... | |||||

| Answer to: Got a blue driver for Christmas - what data for preventative maintenance? | 25Relevance | 2 years ago | Hixster | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| It's important to note that a CEL doesn't have to come on for you to have a stored code. Just because something hasn't triggered a CEL doesn't mean it hasn't triggered a code. Any scan tool is only as good the person interpreting the data. The Blue Driver is a good basic scan tool and it's not hard to learn how to use it properly. Since you're new to the Blue Driver I would suggest doing a full system scan on each vehicle first. After you've scanned you can check each vehicles live data (another function of the scanner) This is where you can find the real ti ... | |||||
| Answer to: 2014 Ford Edge Limited's Power Windows has stopped working. | 21Relevance | 3 years ago | jack62 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... see if you can operate the front passenger window from the switch on the front passenger door. Here's how those windows are wired. Notice where I put a Yellow Circle around the splice in the Blue wire from the Power Windows Circuit Breaker. It splices off to the right in the diagram and provides direct power to the Front Passenger Door. If you can operate the Front Passenger Door window using the switch on the front passenger door then it's almost a sure bet that the Blue wire is broken at the connector between the driver's door and the car body. But if ... | |||||
| Engine smoking | 21Relevance | 4 years ago | Kuda | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Greetings Scotty. My vehicle is a Iveco daily 35s11, 2.8 liter, year 2000. I had it overhauled after it was blowing Blue smoke particularly on start up and also the oil pressure dash light was on. They checked the bearings and noticed that some copper was now showing, however the piston rings where still in shape but we put new ones, we also put new stem seals. Overally the engine was still in good shape as the crankshaft was not damaged at all and the engine block was good as well. So after the engine was assembled back together, it is still blowing Blue sm ... | |||||

| ... Q4: Is the car level and are you waiting until the car cold to check the oil? -------- Q5: Are you using Synthetic oil (or) have you recently changed to Synthetic oil? -------- Q6: Do you notice any Blue smoke out the exhaust (especially when under acceleration or going up hill)? -------- Q7: Did you recently purchase the vehicle used? Note: If Yes to Q7, sometimes sellers will put Synthetic oil it high mileage cars (or) cars with blown head gaskets because synthetic oil does not burn "blue" exhaust as synthetic oil can appear to have mostly clear / normal ... | |||||
| Answer to: Establishing Value of Totaled Car | 21Relevance | 5 years ago | Mark-Snodgrass | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Sorry to hear about your totaled car. I’ve learned recently from Scotty that Blue Book is not a good tool for determining value if you are on the buying end, because Blue Book values can be inflated. Nevertheless, many still use Blue Book. Maybe it works to your advantage to use Blue Book value as a starting point if you have not already. Good luck | |||||
| Answer to: Should I keep my Seat Leon FR 2.0 TDI or switch to a gas car ? | 21Relevance | 7 months ago | scottykilmer | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Okay as far as I can see it, your main problem is the amount of money you want to spend. It's a rather low price for used cars, although I guess in England used cars are much lower prices in the United States. As the saying goes better. The Devil you know than the Devil you don't. Those diesels can last quite sometime so I would probably say fix that rather than tempt a use. Something that you don't know the history of and it will certainly be high mileage in that price range | |||||

| ... fact that the coolant is mixing with the oil, the thing is, is the head gasket damaged or is the water pump damaged? i read that both can cause that mix. My car have 135.000 miles and I don't know if the previous owner replaces the head gaskets, the only thing that i know about it is that the head gaskets that I can see in the engine are Blue (because usually a small part of the head gasket stands out and is visible),what I know is that the original head gaskets are black that's why i believe that the previous owner replaces the head gaskets in some point. ... | |||||

| Id stick with your trailblazer. That era of GM was pretty high up in build quality & reliability. Plus at that age & mileage (for both cars) anything could go. But, better the Devil you know than the Devil you dont. If the trailblazer is still in good condition keep it. You dont know what little gremlins that Lexus has. | |||||

| On the oil leak. It depends, sometimes it is okay to live with an oil leak. Other times, it must be fixed. Right now, I am living with an oil leak on my Honda Accord 1999. It's not too bad a leak. Just annoying. One old adage I've heard on this forum: better the Devil you know, than the Devil you don't. A 2001 Sentra is at towards the end of Nissan "good" run of quality. So it may be worth fixing. | |||||
