The injectors are pretty hardy, and can often be cleaned or reconditioned. How many miles on the engine?
When they say "Engine Gaskets" that's a pretty wide ranging statement, but to replace every gasket on the engine would take a hell of a lot of time yes. In terms of the blue smoke, it could be the copper washers/injector gaskets that need replacing, when does it smoke blue? |

the engine is at about 300k km, so I guess any of the seals might be the culprit. I guess Swiss labor rate is the item that drives the value. He told me that the blue smoke comes when it idles. I noted it as well at the red lights and when accelerating. At 80km/h+ the issue is basically gone or you just don't see it anymore. Told me that there is the hint of Diesel in the air too - hence the point with the injectors that one of them might gone bad and resulting it to runs too rich as a result.
I do have a spare td5 with 165k km (+/-). I guess it would make more sense to check that one and then go with it. Td5 110 Station |

Blue smoke means the engine is burning oil, and l doubt that an injector service or gasket replacement will cure it.
Unless they mean the valve guide seals, which may cure it. Also check that the turbo bearings are okay. |
