Oh sh1t.....Smoke!
Took my car for a spin yesterday ans she seemed fine, got in her today and after 10 mins i was sat at traffic lights and there was smoke coming out of the bonnet scoop!:eek:
I pulled over asap, opened the bonnet, and there was loads of smoke coming from drivers side. From around the air filter and turbo area, and it smelt awful!:eek: On closer inspection my car has deveolped a ticking noise that wasnt there yesterday as well, no c.e.l though!:wonder: Any ideas people, im currently ****ting it!:idea: |
maybe the top hose, quite common, hot anti freeze smells sort of sweet..
|
rocker cover leaking maybe?

1 of my small coolant hoses split and i got a lot of steam and coolant smells.
couldn't fing the split for days but the expansion tank top had white stains from the coolant |
i had a drive shaft gaiter go on me once (off side) it flicked grease all over the turbo and the down pipe stank like hell all scoobs tick a bit start with the easy bits and try not to stress out you will sort it m8:thumb:

Again, thanks for the replies people!
Looks like a coolant leak to me, going to my mates garage at 3 so fingers crossed! |

i had the same once though my car was on fire then realised my heater matrix wasn't getting warm but you don't really notice something like that when you pooing your pants, and low and behold it was the top rad hose.
