Title: Passat PD115 starting problems
Post by: TSS on April 29, 2008, 11:18:02 am

On start up the engine revs to nearly 3 thou then drops back to normal after a few seconds, but sounds if the pistons are coming out the top and rattly, only happens when its been sat for a good few hours or from cold. Any ideas? :?  :?  :?

Leaking oil, valve seals maybe? Do you get a puff of blue smoke when you let off the throttle?
