Hi Guys,


Just wanna ask

My Perdana V6 (2001) has clocked 80k km. Last week timing belt, AT gear oil and servicing was done.

Just recently i noticed that the exhaust started to emmit white smoke while the car is idling on the road like during traffic jam.

What could be happening? Help..

weaken piston ring ($$$) or damaged head gasket ($$) or valve seals ($)

bring to ur mechanic and check compression

Oh Man!!

Shrugs. Do you know how much roughly would the procedures cost?

white smoke = oil burned

80k km wow so fast burn oil already?u did say u changed timing belt prior to that,maybe its only oil seal wasnt fitted properly?

erm,what is 'burn oil'? Sorry not very familiar with cars term (lady here). I noticed some strong oil smell sometimes when i'm standing outside near the car..Also, the smoke emission is like intermittent & periodically...for a few seconds when the car is idle...if 'burn oil' is it some serious problem $$$

Burn oil means, ur engine oil is entering ur cylinder... When u r burning engine oil, its not gud 4 da car... Less performance, wasting engine oil n white smoke... Da spark plugs oso might worn out faster... Get it check... How much $$$ I dunno...
