Hey Guys, just got a quick question
I find after driving my ab turbo around for more than 30 mins, when i STOP ONLY at a set of lights or just parking it, it will begin to produce a light/bluey smoke from the exhaust, sometimes a fair bit and my idle will decrease to where the car is on the brink of turning off.
Doesnt smoke when im travelling. I was told it could be my valve stem seals so i had them changed...but it smoked after i took it from the workshop.
Noticed radiator needs topping up everyday,car overheats quickly
Have i blown a head gasket or turbo needs a rebuild?
How much to repair either?

I bet it's the head gasket.....

The same thing happened to me.....

Is your radiator bubbling?

Is there water in the oil?

It's only going to get worse, I had EXACTLY the same symptoms...

Oh is your radiator hoses going like baloons?
