mk1 vtr smells like its burning oil....

[-shuggles-]

any idea on the problem? cheers:y:

Check for any leaks in the engine bay. Oil dripped/getting onto the manifold etc will cause a smell.

Have a look at the rocker cover gasket and around oil filter etc

I had that smell, turned out to be a split crankcase breather hose from induction kit. If it is actually burning oil blue smoke etc etc, then id suggest valve stem seals or piston + rings

Will smoke if its burning oil


Under load ie hard accelerator blue smoke = worn piston rings


On over run = valve seals
