so..this morning i wake up, get in my car and head off to uni..(late as always) i overtake someone and as i get to about 5,000 rpm in second gear and change into third a shit load of smoke pours out the exhaust and is left in a cloud behind me..after that the car seems fine, i put my foot down again and more smoke!! not good!! any ideas what could be up?

[stevef182 0]

Black or white smoke?

[dr_mat 0]

Yeah, if you see smoke the most important question is what colour was it!

[Garry 0]

Black Smoke = Over fueling

White/Grey smoke = Burning oil = £££

[nocrap 0]

or white = evaporating water....

[dr_mat 0]

Oil smoke pretty much always has a tinge of blue to it.

Anyway..............stevef182, what colour is it??????????

smoke was white!!! going into the garage on wednesday to have it looked at, im guessing if its oil as u suggested i wont be able to do anyhting myself??

[Critical_Mass 10]

Well if its white, i doubt its burning oil

[stevef182 0]

that seems to contradict what garry said?? it does seem to get through oil real quick!!

white at revs is not good, check you water level, could be the headcasket

Samw happened to me last year, flooring it over taking and a cloud of white smoke blow out the back.... head gasket mate !

[nocrap 0]

Yeah, i agree. Certainly looks like a HG fail, but still worth checking your fluids. indications show that coolant level should be low.

[Critical_Mass 10]

Is it white white or a tint of blue to it?

What type of Corrado do you own buddy?

 

When my G60 spat the seal in the charger, it would churn out white/grey smoke under load. The best way to check is to remove the outlet hose from the blower and look for excess oil in the pipe/blower.

 

This is what mine looked like!
