Any change in the color of the smoke, such as white smoke
from the exhaust, is certainly a sign that there is a problem with your car.
The severity may vary depending on the type of smoke. The problem can be caused
by accumulation of condensation and may not have any obvious effects.
But the drivers need to understand what white smoke means.
White smoke is the problem when your car emits white smoke
from the exhaust pipe. White smoke may or may not be a big problem depending on
the thickness. The white smoke is the result of normal condensation forming in
the exhaust system. So, if it's as thin as steam, there's nothing to worry
about, as it will disappear quickly. On the other hand, thick smoke is a big
topic.
Thick smoke usually comes from the defective engine coolant,
which can lead to many serious problems, such as: Damaged cylinder head, blown
head gasket, cracked engine block ... which can cost the car owner a lot. In
this situation, we recommend not to ignore it. A coolant leak, even if it is
small, can lead to serious damage to your vehicles.
WHAT YOUR CAR IS TRYING TO TELL YOU THROUGH WHITE SMOKE FROM EXHAUST:
1) Defective fuel
pump injection
Is your car running on diesel? If the answer is positive and
there is a lot of white smoke leaking when starting the engine, it means that
the injection
timing of the fuel pump is no longer working.
timing of the fuel pump is no longer working.
Checking or modifying the injection is not a recommendation
from us, as this task requires a lot of skills that beginners should not try.
Instead, have your car checked by a mechanic without wasting time.
2) Leaky coolant
Another problem with white smoke is the leaking coolant. The
display is recognizable if white smoke appears when the vehicle is running, but
not when it starts up.
The reason for this type of white smoke is due to burning
coolant that has somehow gotten mixed up. If your vehicle has no coolant, the
car may heat up and emit white smoke. For this reason, it is also very
important to understand the temperature of the car. Do not drive if the coolant
runs out, as this can lead to dangerous situations
3) Problems from
other parts
Often, heavy exhaustion of white smoke when the car is
running can be an indication of expensive and complicated problems. If the
cylinder head, cylinder head gasket and fuel filter are damaged or the engine
is clogged or cracked, white gas will leak out in large quantities. Attaching
or replacing these parts can be expensive.
HOW TO SOLVE WHITE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST PROBLEM :
1) Check the inlet
seal
There is a gasket in the vehicle, which seals the
distributor at the head. These parts take on the task of distributing the
combustion mixture together with the coolant to the separate inlet opening.
These connections are placed in the cylinder heads. You need to understand this
now: if it gets damaged, the coolant will get into the port and combustion
chamber, producing white smoke while driving.
To remedy the problem, the driver must remove the intake
manifold and inspect the inlet seal. If there is a leak or rust, you know where
to repair.
2) Examine further to
check the head gasket
Remember to perform this step only if the inlet seal is
working properly. Then we come to the cylinder head gasket.
This is a part of the car that seals the cylinder head to
prevent coolant from entering the cylinder. Leaks or damage in this area can
cause the coolant to enter the chamber.
3) Look for a crack
in the cylinder head
The cylinder head is the aluminum car part, which tends to
break when overheated. This part is important because it is connected to the
engine block and the head gasket.
Car owners Note: If this part is
broken or damaged, you need to change it.
CONCLUSION
There is no room to overlook the issue of white smoke. Other
vehicles are not only affected by white smoke, but also mean that your car is
in trouble and requires extra attention. It can cause problems for you and the
other drivers if you do not fix it before driving.
