2 questions here.
1. my car smokes a lot some mornings, blue puffs. but some mornings it doesnt. no idea what makes it smoke. its always different. I also burn around .75L of oil every 5000km. (.25 gallons every 3500miles). is this something I should immediately look into? ive had the car for a year, 50,000 miles, and its basically done it the whole time, so im not overly concerned... just keep er topped up every 2-3 weeks. I was told it could be valve seals... I know on my dirtibke thats a pretty tedious job to replace them. what do you guys figure?
2. glow plugs. im pretty sure I have a bad one according to the VCDS scan I did a few months ago. ordered new glow plugs but im a little busy, and intimidated to put them in TBH, even though they look extremely easy. is this something I should stop putting off and do ASAP? should really only take 20-30 mins to swap them out? basically the same as doing a spark plug?
