Luckily the car was still under warranty, I think it was $1500 Thanks for all replies. Is there any way to pinpoint if it is the turbo or engine problem? I checked the spark plugs and they are bone dry so I don't think it is worn bores / piston rings. The engine smokes badly after first start up and clears after about half a mile. If left for about 20 mins it will smoke again on start up but not as bad as been left for several hours. In the short time of owning the car there has not been any noticeable loss of engine oil but it must be using some oil to cause the clouds of bluish smoke and the exhaust pipe is coated in oil deposits
