its probably the piston rings burning the oil, i had this on my car until they got replaced was awful, in 1st gear at about 5000rpm was pouring out smoke

rite... blue smoke is burning oil, never good, could be rings or stem seals, i'm assuming its the 16v lump in there... change the oil and filter see if its any quieter. Mine sounds awfull at the mo coz the water pump is about to explode. But ive got a fresh engine on standby:D

its done 94k and when you first put you foot down it blows a little bit of blue smoke out what is this a sign of and is it anything to worry about. also what other things do i need to check on it the engine seems to run fine but is a little tappety.
any info on these cars would be great.
cheers
