Look...this is shit

[Guest RaBZ3174]

did u get a warrantee with the car? cauz that sounds pretty scary

[R31Nismoid]

17000 on a 92 car?

take it back.

1) It sounds dodgy... and

2) Blue smoke might just be a service but that's oil i think NOT good. Probably nothing that a service will fix... well not a minor one that is

Umm, blowing blue smoke doesnt mean your car needs a service. It means that oil is getting into the combustion chamber. Could be caused from genral wear and tear, Flogging your motor while its still cold, Improper tuning. Does the motor backfire at all?

Dont wont to point the finger at anyone, but it sounds a little sus about how many Ks the car has considering its a 92 model. I would say that the clock (EDOmeter reading) has been turned back a few thousand ks.

Take the car back, thats BS. Dodgey little car yard pricks

its not 17,000km guys!!!

170000 la=.=

170,000km can't u read..

if its blue smoke yes, a sign the compression is going. if its black smoke, then its just running too rich.. just needs tuning.. and well the oil is ink-black.. it needs changing.. i've offered to do it, she don't want me touching it so what do i do..

[R31Nismoid]

don't blame her.

i wouldn't want YOU going crazy horse with the polish either

[JNR24]

Dude, thats fine even at 170,000 that means that the car on average has only done about 15K each year! to date. Compared to the average of about 20-25K P/Y. it wouldnt suprise me if this car is more closer to the 210-220K mark.

predator,

She said its blue smoke, and yes your right it sounds like the motors copmression is up shit creek. So what does that tell you? the motor is older than it is, or has had a really hard life.

If you bought it with a warranty then don't service it now at your own expense.

Ring them & tell them what's happened & that you'll bring it in after your exams.

Meanwhile, concentrate on school & get that out of the way.

Good luck (& don't trust dodgy car yards, no matter how "nice" the salesman seems).
