    Audi s2 - aby stock - needs tlc

    Ok I recently put this car up for sale at £3700 as because of things going on in my personal life im forced to sell.

    About a day after I put her up for sale i started getting random episodes of blue smoke from the exhaust. I suspect this to be valve stem oil seals but have no definate diagnosis

    So im offering the car for sale again at this reduced price because of the fault

    £2700

    I feel this is pretty fair as if you have the time unlike me , you could fix the fault , or drop another engine in over a weekend.

    I have spent quite a bit of money and the body work/interior are in fantastic condition it has quite a bit of history and will come with a new MOT, tax untill and of april

      Random Blue (oil) smoke will be due to the turbo seals. If it were consistent, especially on start up, stem seals could be the cause, though less likely than turbo issues.

      Edit-- as long as no damage has been caused to the turbo impellers/shaft a rebuild won't cost the earth.

                      It's for sale then it's not for sale, then it's for sale again and then not for sale, if a buyer did the same they'd get hammered for being a timewaster.

                        yea i knew people would get this impression - what can i say.

                        due to some great support via forum members the car may be fixed (im not saying anything else on the matter because i dont want to jinx it)

                        all i can say is sorry

                          Fair enough but maybe take time to consider all options in the future.
