- 2002 jetta tdi auto converted to 5 speed. 2003 tdi jetta 5 speed.
I bought a 03 jetta 5 speed about 6 weeks ago. 188k, no history other than the timming belt was done at 180k.
It takes 4 o5 seconds to start with lots of blue smoke. the smoke clears up pretty quick.
I put around 900 miles on it so far and it does not to be using lots of oil. fuel mileage good high fourtys. Has good power. I took the pipe off the ic and it was not ful of oil. It seems to be turing over as fast as my 02. Even after sitting for one hour it will still smoke sometimes at start. once it was parked aiming down hill on a grade and it seemed to smoke more on start up.
Did a compression test with a tester from a friend(dont know how good the thing is))310psi'310,310 and 310. minumin is 276psi. but 310 seems kinda low to me.
Will a compression test show bad valve guides?
Could it just be bad injectors?
Turbo? Thanks in advance.
