Had my saph cos out for a spin today and i`ve noticed theres white smoke coming from exhaust, it comes out on idle and more when i rev the engine. There is also a strong smell of petrol from exhaust . Any ideas???

 

Just been out to check and theres only a tiny bit water left in the header tank, so looks like i`ve fooked the head gasket . Does it never end????

 

It eats water and white smoke...really sounds like the headgasket...

 

ohh dear; def sounds like a head gasket; get s sniff test if you want to be sure but it def sounds like it

another symptom is the heaters in the car not getting warm

just replaced my girlfriends headgasket on her bmw - and no, it never ends, just before christmas too!

put a small turbo escort cossie headgasket on there

 

Only had it back 3 days since i had new konis fitted with ahmed bayjoo springs and was out enjoying them when this happens, not to worry easy sorted i suppose.

 

Bigger and better m8.

 

So what head gasket do you guys recommend??? I`m running stage 3

 

Group a or late escos one.

Sorry to hear this mate.Mine has a group A head gasket.I dont think they are that hard to take the head off.
