Hi guys.
Long time lurker, 1st time poster.
I've a 2008 Accord 2.2 CDTI sport GT tourer with engine code N22A1.
She has 145,000 miles with a very good but not conclusive service history.
So I've got the dreaded cloud of white smoke from a cold start. This is gone after a few seconds but if I then press the accelerator I get a follow up cloud of blue smoke. Blue smoke goes after another few seconds.
So am I correct to ***ume I've a cracked manifold causing the white smoke ?
I am then ***uming I've a problem with valve stem oil seals giving me the blue smoke. My reason for thinking this is being that the blue smoke goes once whatever oil is in the cylinders burns off.
Any thoughts on this diagnosis or am I wrong ?
The car pulls well and is overall close to mint considering its 1p years old. I'd consider doing the valve stem oil seals. If however it's further down in the engine as in piston rings I'm wary of the massive bill...
