Puffing Smoke At High Rpm When Changing Gear

[mikeygulley 19 1 Cars]

Hi,

 

As the title says really, when reaching the higher end of the rev range in my 205 gti6 I'm getting a 'puff' of smoke when changing up. It doesn't drink any oil though.

 

I can't tell if the smoke is blue though, I was going to get someone to follow me to tell me.

 

When the car is not moving and revved there is no smoke nor when driving normally. I have only started to notice it after cleaning the car this morning (rear screen was very dirty after new road surface) and my bro telling me there was a bit when I went up the hill at pugfest (decided to tell me today).

 

I have tried a search but couldn't find anything.

 

Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated.

 

Many Thanks,

 

Mike

Likely it's the stem seals starting to fail - if so, they'll get progressively worse with more smoke at overrun/idle and increasing oil consumption.
