Ok so I am not surprised that my car doesnt sound the greatest at idle. I dont know if this is all celi's, but its enough to make me kind of sad that such a beautiful and well running car doesnt have that quiet graceful idle that most cars have.
Is there anything I should check? It doesnt sound like blets but it also sounds like its coming from that little thing that has the hand off symbol with the belt next to it (is that timing belt?) Any suggestions on gettin her to be a little more graceful at the idle? |

I would say that ur valve stem seals are a little worn , when u stop for a while then the oil falls through the seal into the chamber and burns when u first start up causeing the little puff of blue smoke , its nothing to realy worry about at the mo if its only a little, if u drive the car just coast in gear let the car slow down a bit then re apply the gas if u get a big bit of blue smoke then thats when it becomes a big prob. i would say try and get that stuff i posted a link to if ur seals are just on there way out then the seal conditioner should sort ur wee prob for a few thousand miles or maybe more..
