Hi, I have not posted in a while but I am in desperate need of help... I cannot bear to get rid of my '91 ZX 1.6i Aura.
I took it for a MOT today and besides failing on the usual brakes, tyres, bulb it now has failed on :
"Exhaust emits excessive dense blue smoke during acceleration"
Now about 3 days ago I hit a big puddle...when I say puddle I mean lake on a VERY badly lite carriageway...it sucked it up and pushed it out throw the plug holes under the force I presume it ran VERY badly that night anyhow after a few hours I presumed it dryed it the car is running perfect again. However I did a compression test and the values were good all just above 11psi (well green on this thingy )
The ZX has never spat out smoke and this smoking seems very random (starts fine,pulls strong)
Is there ANYTHING I can do failing a enigine rebuild?
I am hoping that some oil may be left in the oil and a change (filters too) might get me away with it?
I just cannot bear this
