Puff of blue smoke on start up (35D)
 

Hey, guys, you’ve probably seen my other thread to keep the e70 or not. As I continue the observation of the car(so far after about 3 months and ~3k miles it’s been fine, even though I’m afraid to push it, had an EGT sensor code pop up and hadn’t come back yet). I do have a remote starter on the car from the phone and 98% of the time that’s what I use to start it, today I came outside and started it normally and the car threw a cloud of blue smoke, is that normal? Thank you!

P.S. When I say push the car I’m talking about moderate driving, not pedal to the metal. A few times there were instances of when I needed to speed up when someone wouldn’t let me change a lane and I hesitated and slowed down rather than push the gas to down shift and make the change.

Being "fully deleted" is not "normal".


I mean youve replaced the motor...replaced injectors...replaced other parts while chasing a "smoking issue"....


So I guess it will be hard to say....

Deleted cars puff smoke at cold start. Best thing to try is running some "Everyday Diesel" in your fuel, and also try some "Stiction Eliminator" in the oil. Frequent oil changes, and good diesel. May also want to check the specific oil you are running. I have had some of this with my deleted F15, and my buddy has also with his deleted E70. Those are things we have done to eliminate it from being a problem.
