AutosBay:
The white smoke is indicative of coolant getting into the combustion chamber. Most common reason is a blown head or intake gasket but a cracked head or intake manifold is also a possibility. you need a good mechanic to troubleshoot and determine where and why it's leaking. I wouldn't drive it any more than you absolutely have to. Coolant isn't good for the combustion chamber.

Alternatively go through this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1997680/car-exhaust-white-smoke something similar has been treated.

Thanks for the response sir,am actually the same person on ur alternative thread.However I don't know of any good mechanic ova here,bt incase I get one what precisely should I instruct him to check cus am naive to all this car components?

I thank you for your kind words. The best I can offer for an Automatic Ford Focus is 1M Naira. For a budget of 700-800k, kindly pick one of these. As per your request, all options are Petrol engine, automatic and fully airconditioned

a) Mitsubishi.

b) Hyundai - with leather interior

I drive a 2002 nissan almera, I got it 8 months ago.
The car hasn't been in real time usage until 2month
back...Howeva jst last week I started to hear sum kind
of noise frm the engine wich was confirmed to be the
engine chain and has affected the chain guard and
adjuster,so therefore I opt for repair wich cost me
close to 18k....After work done,the engine now works
perfectly but my car started exhausting smoke.

PLS, WHAT CAN I DO?

Thnaks for ur reply,bt howeva d engine ws working perfectly prior to this repair,could it be a bad work done by the mechanic?.....and pls hw much ar we talkin abt in replacing d engine?

AutosBay:
The causes of white exhaust smoke can vary; however, it is
common to see white exhaust smoke when first starting a car, especially on
cooler days. This is generally steam caused by condensation. As the engine warms
up and the condensation dissipates the white exhaust smoke (steam) is no longer
seen. If excessive white exhaust smoke is present well after the engine warms
up, it is necessary to have the car inspected for possible internal coolant
leaks. Indicators of an internal coolant leak include billowing white exhaust
smoke accompanied by a sweet odor or a low coolant reservoir level. An internal
coolant leak can also contaminate the engine oil giving it a frothy, milky
appearance. Even small amounts of coolant entering the combustion chamber will
produce white exhaust smoke.

It's also not unusual to see small amounts of water coming from a tail pipe. It is just condensation.

Before you believe you have a blown head gasket, run a compression check. A compression gauge is not that expensive.

Thanks for the reply,d prob is am naive to all dis car part and components,mine is jst to start & drive the car....Will get a good mechanic to check that soonest.
