thin White smoke from car Exhaust


Recommended Posts

just keep your engine oil level in check so not to further the matter already at hand and yes you can drive it but if its smoking really bad then you might get a fine from the authorities....

@Brijesh Kumar its not that all the 2nd hand engine are lottery but the car you have is not much used in the japan market thus cant get a japanese used part for it

the kia and hyundai is usually imported from the singapore malaysia and american market

and its really tough to assess the damage without the tear down you will have to open up the engine to assess the damage then only you could get the right cost of the fix unless you giving it out on contract then its will only be a fixed price whatever behind that will be bared by the business but you shouldn't be going that route

I/we meant 2nd opinion, not option, big difference. If you want a somewhat informed response from the members you'll have to answer the queries posed by them including me.

I'm still not sure how a motor with only 55k is smoking unless something drastic has happened to it, which was previously asked and there was no answer from you.

It could be something simple as a blocked PCV pipe causing blowback or a blown head gasket. No one will know or make an educated guess unless there is more information passed on from your side

It wouldn't help answering that question if you already don't know the answerto that. As advised get a second opinion from a second shop and even a 3rd opinion from a third. 

If it is really smoking, then yes the engine needs to be opened up and rebuilt, which in turns equal to a lot of $$$$$$$

Or just keep on driving it as is. Keeping an eagle eye on oil and coolant levels. 

OR sell it.

Still having a hard time believing such a low mileage motor is smoking.

Good luck
