[QUOTE="StuckInTheDarkSky, post: 2579999, member: 465751"] I have an old Mk2 VW Golf (J Reg) which has done about 150k. I don’t really drive it a lot and when I do it’s not very long distances (maybe 20 miles round trips) It starts first time, even after it’s been sitting for a while (up to a month without being started) and the oil and water levels are always fine, but it’s quite smokey when it is started and is a bit smokey when I first drive it, even if it’s been running for a while before. I was thinking maybe it just needs a good run so I could drive the “long way” home today down the dual carriageway but I wasn’t sure if this might damage it more? Should I do or not do anything, or does it just need starting and driving a bit more often? Thanks [/QUOTE]
