HELP!!

I THINK IVE JUST KILLED MY CAR!!

I HAD SOME REDEX N NOTICED YOU CAN USE IT FOR THE ENGINE by putting it in the spark plug holes and coving the holes with a cloth and turning the engine while plugs are off

so i did that that and it did collect alot of the redex, anyway once i put all tyhe plugs n leads back and started the engine i got loads of smoke coming from the engine bay and loads and loads out of the exhuast

WHAT ARE I DONE?? ive taken the plugs out and aint sure if ive messed up the car???

im too scared to start it now!!!! HELP!!

What colour smoke? Stands to reason that you'll see REDEX burning off, nothing more!!

the smoke was WHITE

there was loads out of the back

and alot out of the engine bay..

is it normal to come out the engine bay??

[dazzyvr6 0]

if it got on to the exhaust manifold it will just burn of,the same goes for down the spark plug holes

IIRC using redex does cause a lot of smoke, look on the bottle and i`m sure it says it there somewhere!?

 

i used it on my old (Xr2) and it was fine

 

hope it all works out mate

I dont think there is any need to worry -

I added Redex thro' the plug 'oles many years ago - you do get an embarassing amount of smoke belching out.

I thought the neighbours would be over to tell me off it was so bad!

Just take it for a good run, that should sort it out, the redex is just releasing years of carbon build up inside the engine...

White smoke...yeah its Redex. We used to pour it onto the tarmac and burn rubber on the stuff.....The amount of smoke it produced was unreal. Even the police were called out at one time, just plead ignorance...wasn't us gov!
