Smoking When Cornering Hard?


Marcus

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

My S1 k series has began smoking from the exhaust and slowly using oil, but only when accelerating out of a corner hard.

 

Does anyone have any idea what this might be?

 

It doesn't smoke from startup either hot nor cold so I don't think it's valve stem seals.

 

Let me know any potential ideas

 

Thank you

I've finally worked out today that it only smokes when cornering right and accelerating.

 

I've checked all the breather pipes (I'm running a catch tank) and all is well, as far as I'm aware the car does not have a baffled sump.

 

Any further ideas?
