Hi all. Apologies if this issue has been covered elsewhere. I did look but I couldn;t find a thread. My 2002 T4 has suddently started to pour our light blue smoke on start up (oil burning I guess) but easies after driving, The van was stood for a month or so. I have given the van a good run by the problem remains which is a worry! I have been told that it could be a sticky piston ring or the turbo seals but is it likely as I have not had a problem with the engine before leaving it standing. I would have thought that there would have been some earlier signs but this is not the case. if it is likely to be a sticky piston ring how can I sort it? The van is generally running well and is not losing power. I had the oil changed not long before storing my van and I don't know which type of oil the guy used. Could this be the problem?
I have put some Redex in the tank but it is too early to say if this is making any difference. I don't know if the van is using excessive oil and I don't think there is a gead gasket problem. I am not much use practically so any guidance and advice would be very much appreciated! Worried that this could be expensive to sort and I can't afford to be ripped off. The van has done 112k and has been well looked after. Cheers. Dave
