Smoke from exhaust

Post by limbo »

Hi

We took the van for a bit of a workout this weekend. I noticed that when using low gear for prolonged periods - like motoring up steep inclines, it causes a funky smell, and the exhaust blows out white smoke when changing up a gear.

More than a bit worried. Any ideas what to do, apart from stay in high gear and take it really slow...

Provided all your essential fluids (Oil +Water) are still up to the mark I would not worry about it to much, just keep your eye on it and report back if it starts getting worse.

And the engine IS?
On wings like angels whispers sweet
my heart it feels a broken beat
Touched soul and hurt lay wounded deep
Brown eyes are lost afar now sleep xxHayleyxx
