Blenheim Car Sales 111 Posted July 25, 2020 On a Vauxhall i have Insignia diesel, I had it smoking like something is terminal, smoking on tick over and a real trail of smoke at normal driving, Did not even had to be booting it was there all the time, I was bricking it, turned out my diesel was desperately trying to regen but some sensor had gone ( forgot the one) and once we changed that £60 the car was able to self clean regen and all was well, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rory RSC 596 Posted July 25, 2020 Is it the same as the Mini engine? What year is it? @Mat C might be a knowledgeable with this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Horgan 564 Posted July 25, 2020 valve stem seals , and piston rings is my guess . mini engine , they are bloody useless . Smoke like battle ships because they are burning oil . Circa £900 /£1200 fix , while the heads off have it tested and cleaned , new rings , oil change and it will run sweet as new , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I’d of got shot before you started spending money on it. Being the turbo model it’ll be the same engine as the Mini Cooper S/Peugeot 207 Gti Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
