I've gotten a video of it today. It looks to be blue in the video, but it seems whiter in person

Re: Excessive Oil consumption 1.4 8v APQ
The smoke is white, but its leaving wonderful black marks on the floor on idle
Yea, new air filter, and cleaned the air box and throttle body with a heavy duty degreaser
Cool. Thanks. I'll give it a shot

Excessive Oil consumption 1.4 8v APQ
Hi guys
My Polo seems to be using a rather excessive amount of oil. I've used 800ml of oil over the last 200 miles.
So lots of searching says it to be piston rings, or stem seals.
I have had a compression test, and all 4 cylinders showed 190-195 psi. Which I know is high, most likely a coked up ...

Re: Oil in airbox and throttle body
Cheers buddy.
What worries me though is that that still seems to be an excessive amount of oil around the throttle body and air box.
Would there be any issue with plugging the breather pipe hole on the air intake, and just extending the breather pipe and just venting it to atmosphere?

Cheers buddy.
My biggest worry was that that appeared to be a ridiculously large amount of oil, especially if its supposed to just be vapours?

Oil in airbox and throttle body
Hi guys.
I've just spent the best part of an hour googling this. Been on VW Vortex, uk-polos, and club polo looking at what causes this and the only thing I can find is the breather pipe might need replacing, but no definitive answer.
