Huh OK. Can someone please tell me possible things that I can have checked. I don't think driving the car to ogba or gbagada is the way to learn about my car. 1 Like |

tutuwater:you have to tell us the make of your car, model and year. The color of the smoke. If it is worse on cold mornings or not. If it clears after sometime. you will need a scanner. Depending on the car Make and year, u may have a bad idle control valve, may need to clean your throttle body, may be your Maf. So give us necessary info. |
Re: Smoke Exhaust From My Car? What Should I Check? by tutuwater(m): 3:06pm On Jun 01, 2017 |
Car: Toyota Avensis 2005. Manual drive. Smoke only when engine is cold. Smoke is probably white. I uploaded the video to show the color. |
Re: Smoke Exhaust From My Car? What Should I Check? by mayor2013: 11:00pm On Jun 01, 2017 |
Any overheating issue previously. Does the smoke stop after cold start? Does it continue after cold start? Is the smoke just pure white or have a bit of blue color with it |
Re: Smoke Exhaust From My Car? What Should I Check? by tutuwater(m): 8:42pm On Jun 02, 2017 |
No overheating issue at all. It used to leak coolant before. But that has reduced now. After cold start the smoke stops. |

Re: Smoke Exhaust From My Car? What Should I Check? by tutuwater(m): 4:29pm On Jun 03, 2017 |
I have not serviced or cleaned throttle body before ooh. |
Re: Smoke Exhaust From My Car? What Should I Check? by erico2k2(m): 5:30pm On Jun 03, 2017 |
tutuwater:MayB you should start from there as its almost free and easy, to know how check youtube for your make and model and see how its done, go and buy a spirit to do this. |

tutuwater: Explain further where the leak comes out from |
Re: Smoke Exhaust From My Car? What Should I Check? by tutuwater(m): 4:58am On Jun 04, 2017 |
The leak comes out from an opening on top of the radiator. Then kazeem glued the opening shot. mayor2013: |

What colour is the smoke? You need to be specific. If blue and comes out only in the morning and stops after some few seconds then we looking at a bad valve stem seal .if white then we looking at perhaps an overheating issue which led to a cracked cylinder head. So be much more specific so as to guide you accordingly 1 Like |

mayor2013: Thanks a lot Bro you have been of tremendous help. I can't place the color of th smoke may be I can make another video of the smoke and upload. |
Re: Smoke Exhaust From My Car? What Should I Check? by mayor2013: 10:32am On Jun 04, 2017 |
tutuwater: Smoke can be only in 3 colours. White, black and whitish blue |
Re: Smoke Exhaust From My Car? What Should I Check? by tutuwater(m): 11:18am On Jun 04, 2017 |
mayor2013:On second check I think it is a whitish blue smoke. But it stops when the car is fully warm. |
Re: Smoke Exhaust From My Car? What Should I Check? by mayor2013: 11:23am On Jun 04, 2017 |
tutuwater: Valve stem seal is worn out. If smoke is continous get ready for another engine |
Re: Smoke Exhaust From My Car? What Should I Check? by tutuwater(m): 12:26pm On Jun 04, 2017 |
mayor2013:I noticed once that the plugs were soaked in engine oil. Can the worn out valve stem seal be the cause for this too. |
Re: Smoke Exhaust From My Car? What Should I Check? by mayor2013: 1:00pm On Jun 04, 2017 |
Have a professional inspect your car |
Re: Smoke Exhaust From My Car? What Should I Check? by tutuwater(m): 1:27pm On Jun 04, 2017 |
No, I am not going to give a professional. I am going to give the car to a Kazeem. Thanks very much for your help. It was much appreciated. |
