As some of you know i blew a plug (#3) the other day and the problem was fixed with a "time sert" - (i even know the difference to a heli coil now too!)

Before then, every know and then i would get the old puff of oil smoke at start up. Nothing to worry about, just every 3rd day say.... at least once a week.

Well it has been going on 3 weeks since my episode and not a puff?

Coincidence?

Opinions?

Have you got Bosch or Beru plugs in there now, instead of Champions?!

That's good news Barry, your VW is giving you more time to save up for new 044s later...

Barry,
could be that the cold weather started about the same time, so less oil down the pot? - I use the same oil as you do & the past few weeks the exhaust has produced only a small puff instead of a large cloud
